Rob Neel

Rob Neel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Lehigh University. His research focuses on Geometry, Topology, and Probability, with a particular emphasis on sub-Riemannian geometry, stochastic processes, and geometric analysis. He has contributed extensively to understanding heat kernel asymptotics, Brownian motion on manifolds, and applications of probabilistic methods in geometric contexts.

Neel's work spans theoretical frameworks such as maximal couplings, geometric boundaries, and wavelet analysis, alongside practical applications in control theory and optimization. His research has been published in leading journals like ESAIM and the Journal of Differential Geometry.

Notably, he explores topics like the Dirichlet problem at infinity, sub-Laplacians in sub-Riemannian settings, and the Ricci flow on surfaces. While no specific awards or advisory roles are listed, his scholarly output reflects deep engagement with both pure and applied mathematical challenges.
