Robert Ream

Robert Ream is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Clark University, where he has been since 2019. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2014), and prior degrees from Utah State University: M.S. in Mathematics (2008), and B.S. in Mathematics and Physics (2006/2005). His research focuses on geometric analysis, particularly minimal surfaces and special Kähler metrics, using analytic methods to study geometric structures.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, UC Santa Barbara, 2014
• M.S. in Mathematics, Utah State University, 2008
• B.S. in Mathematics, Utah State University, 2006
• B.S. in Physics, Utah State University, 2005

Research Interests:

Ream explores geometric analysis with an emphasis on minimal surfaces (e.g., soap film phenomena) and Kähler metrics, including Kähler-Einstein metrics and Ricci solitons. His work bridges differential geometry and mathematical physics, examining structures like cohomogeneity-one manifolds and pp-wave spacetimes.

Presentations & Collaborations:

• "Kähler-Einstein and Kähler-Ricci Soliton Metrics on Cohomogeneity-One Manifolds" at CUNY Almost Complex Geometry Seminar (2021)
• Presentations at College of the Holy Cross (2020) and other institutions

Labs & Teams: No specific lab affiliations mentioned, but collaborates with researchers like Gideon Maschler and Amir B. Aazami on metric geometry projects.
