Gareth Speight

Gareth Speight is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. His research focuses on mathematical analysis with geometric applications, particularly real analysis, geometric measure theory, analysis on metric spaces, and sub-Riemannian geometry. He has been supported by a National Science Foundation grant (#2348715) from 2024-2027, investigating differentiability in Carnot groups and metric measure spaces. He co-organizes the Ohio River Analysis Meeting and leads the UC Analysis Seminar.

Speight's educational background includes a PhD from the University of Warwick (2013), supervised by David Preiss, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa under Luigi Ambrosio. His work explores porosity, differentiability, and functional analytic structures in non-Euclidean settings. He has advised PhD students Marco Capolli (2020) and Hyogo Shibahara (2024).

His research highlights include studies on universal differentiability sets, Lusin approximation, and Whitney extension theorems in Carnot groups. He has organized major conferences like the 11th Ohio River Analysis Meeting (2022) and contributed to journals like Inventiones Mathematicae and Advances in Mathematics.
