RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are in number theory, with a focus on the area of automorphic forms of various kinds, associated Galois representations, special values of L-functions and differential operators. Currently, my focus is

• to understand images of the Galois representations associated to classical and Siegel eigenforms; and

• to study certain properties of eigenvalues of modular forms and Siegel modular forms by using these representations.
