Research
My research interests include automorphic forms and representations, number theory, and representation theory. My thesis work combined with [3] below formulated a global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for general spin groups and verified the conjecture for the first three cases. Beyond Endoscopy is a strategy proposed by Langlands to prove the principle of functoriality. A first step in the strategy was achieved by Ali Altug who worked over the rationals. I am currently working on a project (joint with M.Espinosa-Lara, D. Kundu and T. Wong) to generalize Altug's work to an arbitrary number field. I am also currently working on the endoscopic classification of representations for the general Spin group (joint with S. Takeda). I then plan on formulating and proving a local GGP conjecture for general Spin groups. My work on Sato-Tate distributions for higher genus curves is also continuing (joint with H. Goodson).
