Research
Shelstad has been a key player in the development of the theory of endoscopy which is part of Langlands program. She co-conjectured the fundamental lemma with Robert Langlands in 1984. After over 20 years, this conjecture was solved by Ngô Bảo Châu in 2009, thus opening up a wealth of consequences.
In 1999, Shelstad developed a theory of twisted endoscopy with Robert Kottwitz. In 2008–9 she completed work on tempered endoscopy.
Awards and honors
In 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[1]
