Yangguang Ou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Vermont, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on developing advanced analytical methods, including electrochemical sensing and microfluidics, to quantify neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and environmental contaminants. He leads the Ou Lab, which emphasizes innovations in carbon fiber microelectrodes and molecular imprinting technologies. Ou holds a B.S. in Biochemistry and Chemistry from Florida State University (2011), a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh (2017), and completed postdoctoral research at the University of South Carolina (2018–2020).
His expertise spans bioanalytical chemistry, neurochemistry, and environmental analysis, with applications in understanding depression, PTSD, autism spectrum disorder, and neurodegenerative diseases. Key techniques include voltammetry, separations science, and Raman spectroscopy. Notable awards include the Midwest Universities Analytical Chemistry Conference Travel Award (2019) and the Andrew Mellon Fellowship (2015–2016).
The Ou Lab’s work integrates interdisciplinary approaches to tackle challenges in biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and neurochemical signaling. Their research aims to advance real-time, high-resolution analytical tools for both clinical and environmental contexts.
