Research Interests:
Adams' work focuses on computational methods in Lie theory, particularly through the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations project. His research encompasses unitary representations, Kazhdan-Lusztig theory, and automorphic forms, with significant contributions to the computation of the Unitary Dual using the Atlas software.

Scientific Contributions:
His publications include foundational studies on real reductive groups, nonlinear simply laced groups, and Shimura correspondences. The atlas software developed by his team enables computation of complex Lie group structures, including unipotent orbits and affine root systems.

Teaching:
Adams has taught courses such as Math 401 (Applied Linear Algebra), Lie Groups, and Representation Theory, with video lectures and outlines available for educational outreach.
