Gopal Prasad

Gopal Prasad is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA), with his office located in Room 5846 East Hall. He maintains active research contributions as evidenced by publications through 2025.

His research expertise spans:

• Algebraic Groups
• Arithmetic Groups
• Lie Groups
• Differential Geometry
• Number Theory
• Representation Theory

Prasad's scholarly output reveals sustained focus on Bruhat-Tits theory, particularly unramified and tamely ramified descent mechanisms, alongside structural analysis of pseudo-reductive groups. His work bridges algebraic geometry with number theory through investigations of fake projective planes and arithmetic symmetric spaces, demonstrating methodological innovation in group-theoretic frameworks.
