I am a 5th year graduate student at Boston College, getting my Ph.D in Mathematics. I am interested in representation theory and the local Langlands conjecture. In particular, my research focuses primarily on representations of p-adic groups and the explicit construction of supercuspidal representations from graded Lie algebras. More broadly, I am also interested in the connections between representations of p-adic groups and Vinberg theory.
