REASEARCH
My research is in algebraic number theory with a particular
interest in the theory of modular forms, central simple algebras, and
the theory of buildings and their applications. I have done extensive
work on questions of the representability of modular forms by theta
series attached to quadratic forms, and have used the arithmetic of
quaternion algebras to answer questions regarding the representation
numbers of ternary and quaternary quadratic forms. Other work has
included aspects of the theory of newforms for integral and
half-integral weight modular forms of elliptic and Hilbert type as
well as the study of higher rank Hecke operators and their relation to
Bruhat-Tits buildings for $GL_n(K)$ and $Sp_n(K)$, $K$ a
local field. Recent work has focused on the geometric and
combinatorial aspects of affine buildings, as well as their
application to the study of arithmetic in central simple algebras.
