Charles Ouyang

Charles Ouyang is a Visiting Assistant Professor and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, located in the Lederle Graduate Research Tower. He is actively engaged in research within geometric and topological mathematics.

His primary research focus lies in Higher Teichmüller Theory, a sophisticated branch of mathematics exploring representations of surface groups into Lie groups beyond the classical Teichmüller space. This work intersects with geometric topology, representation theory, and moduli spaces, contributing to the understanding of geometric structures on surfaces and their deformations.

Dr. Ouyang's research is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellowship, a competitive award recognizing early-career potential in mathematical research.
