Matthew Romney

I am a Simons Instructor at Stony Brook University, from September 2020 to August 2023. I received my PhD in 2017 from the University of Illinois under the supervision of Jeremy Tyson. Prior to this, I obtained bachelor's and master's degrees at the Brigham Young University with Michael Dorff.

Before arriving at Stony Brook, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland (2018-2019) and at the University of Cologne in Germany (Spring 2020).

CV

My research interests are in metric geometry and analysis on metric spaces, with an emphasis on quasiconformal geometry and uniformization of surfaces. For a broad, nontechnical survey of the field, I'd recommend the survey Nonsmooth calculus by Juha Heinonen.
