Fields of interest:
For the past several decades the theory of automorphic forms has become a major focal point of development in number theory and algebraic geometry, with relations to many diverse areas, such as Lie theory or the arithmetic of algebraic groups. On one hand, my interest concerns the cohomology of arithmetically defined groups and its relationship with the theory of automorphic forms and automorphic L-functions, on the other hand, I work on the geometric construction of cohomology classes for the underlying arithmetic varieties.
