Profile

Biography

I am a third (and final) year PhD student with an interest in Kac-Moody groups and related objects. In particular, I am interested in extending the notion of G-complete reducibility from reductive groups to Kac-Moody groups. This involves a mixture of (possibly infinite dimensional) algebraic group theory and the theory of buildings.
