Research

My research interests are in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and arithmetic geometry. Some particular interests are:

• D-modules
• cohomology theories in positive and mixed characteristic
• deformation theory
• Hochschild (co)homology
• operads
• modular representation theory
• Dieudonné modules
