Research Interest
Number theory and automorphic representations. More specifically, I am interested in the interaction of the following topics as predicted in the Langlands Program:
- Arithmetic of Shimura varieties, Rapoport-Zink spaces, affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, etc.
- Automorphic representations, Arthur-Selberg trace formulas and endoscopy
- Representation theory of real and p-adic groups.
