Before arriving at UL Lafayette, I held postdoctoral appointments at Rutgers University, the University of Montana, and the University of Aberdeen.
My research interests are in the structure and representation theory of finite groups, as viewed locally at a prime p. This often leads me to the study of fusion systems, which are finite categories that serve as models for the p-local structures of finite groups, for local structures of blocks of finite group algebras in characteristic p, as well as for the p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups.
