RESEARCH AREA

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

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