Dr. Zeno Huang's research interests are in the fields of differential geometry and complex analysis, more specifically, Teichmuller theory. A main object in Teichmuller theory is the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, the space of equivalent classes of conformal structures on a topological surface, modulo biholomorphisms. Teichmuller theory lies in the intersection of many different mathematical fields: algebraic geometry, complex analysis, differential geometry, topology, and others. The theory of Riemann moduli is an intensively rich, research active subject, with a long history, ever since the time of (and before) Riemann. Recent developments in theoretical physics also bring new ideas and points of views to this field. Zeno's past research has focused on the Riemannian properties of the moduli space, with Weil-Petersson metric (and also other metrics).

Dr. Zeno Huang earned his PhD at Rice University in 2003. He has held visiting positions at the University of Michigan (2004-2007), the University of Oklahoma (2003-2004). He spent the Fall semester of 2007-2008 at Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley, California on a Research Fellowship.
