Hung Nguyen

Dr. Hung Nguyen is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Akron's Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences. His research specializes in finite group theory, representation theory, and character theory, with particular focus on Deligne-Lusztig theory and modular representations of finite groups of Lie type.

Research interests include:

• Structure of finite simple groups
• Brauer character theory and p-blocks
• Character degrees and rationality
• Representation stability and modular forms
• Group cohomology and extensions

Recent publications explore character degrees, p-rationality, and codegree isomorphism problems in finite groups. His work contributes to solving longstanding conjectures in group representation theory and advances understanding of character-field relationships.
