I study the modular representation theory of finite groups. Here are some topics I am presently interested in or plan to study in the future:

  • Local-to-global group theoretic conjectures such as Broue’s abelian defect group conjecture
  • Finiteness conjectures such as Puig’s conjecture
  • Biset functors and applications
  • Endotrivial modules and generalizations, such as endotrivial complexes
  • Categorification and diagrammatics
  • Intersections of combinatorics and modular representation theory
