My research activities
are directed toward the study of infinite groups with connections to
number theory. For instance, I am interested in arithemtic groups
and p-adic Lie groups. Many problems which I have been
working on concern profinite, often pro-p groups. These
occur rather naturally as Galois groups of infinite field
extensions. To some extent, my mathematical home base is Asymptotic and Geometric Group Theory, in particular subgroup growth, representation growth and related subjects. These are relatively new directions in infinite group theory which people first started to explore in the 1980s. Since then substantial theories have been developed and there are many challenging problems for future work. Being happy to learn about new things, I continue to be intrigued also by problems in additive combinatorics, coding theory, Lie theory, etc.
