RESEARCH AREA

Representation theory of groups and of finite-dimensional algebras
with applications to arithmetic geometry

Particular interests:    Modular representation theory, 
                         versal and universal deformations 
                         of Galois representations and of 
                         bounded complexes of Galois modules, 
                         Galois representations arising from 
			 geometry, moduli spaces, degenerations
			 of modules, group actions on homogeneous
                         coordinate rings
