Representation theory of p-adic groups, and motivic integration
My research has been focused on applying a method called motivic integration to harmonic analysis on p-adic groups. Motivic integration is based on model theory, and allows one to do integration on p-adic manifolds in an abstract way, independently of p. I have been contributing to the program initiated by T.C. Hales aiming at restating representation theory of p-adic groups in a p-independent way, using this technique. More recently (with J. Achter and S. Ali Altug), I have been using this abstract approach to measure to help connect different ways of computing the sizes of isogeny classes of abelian varieties. I have also recently become interested in the Trace Formula and its applications.
