PhD Supervision Interests
I would be interested in taking a PhD student who has some familiarity with algebraic geometry and representation theory. A PhD student of mine would address open questions in the theory of linear algebraic groups over fields. I have potential PhD projects in mind related to birational invariant theory, and also to linear representation theory in positive characteristic.
