Ser Peow Tan

Ser Peow Tan is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, National University of Singapore, specializing in low-dimensional topology and geometric structures. His research explores representation varieties, hyperbolic geometry, and dynamics of group actions.

• Education: BA from Oxford University (1982), PhD from University of California, Los Angeles (1988) under Bill Goldman and John Millson.
• Current Affiliation: Department of Mathematics, National University of Singapore (since 1990).

His work focuses on hyperbolic surfaces, geometric identities, and group representations, with significant contributions to understanding character varieties and Anosov dynamics. The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in congruence subgroups, orthogeodesic identities, and hyperbolic 3/4-manifold structures.
