Gregory R. Chambers

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Rice University. Before coming to Rice, I was an L. E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago, and a graduate student at the University of Toronto before that.

My research is in metric geometry and geometric analysis. I am particularly interested in quantitative topology, min-max theory, isoperimetric inequalities, stability estimates for geometric inequalities, and symmetrizations and their applications.

My CV can be downloaded here. I am a co-organizer of the Rice Geometry-Analysis Seminar.

Teaching

During the fall 2018 semester, I am teaching MATH 221: Honors Calculus 3 and MATH 425/515: Integration Theory.
