Wee Teck Gan - 1/2 Explicit Constructions of Automorphic Forms 

I will discuss the theory of theta correspondence, highlighting basic principles and recent results, before explaining how theta correspondence can now be viewed as part of the relative Langlands program.
I will then discuss other methods of construction of automorphic forms, such as automorphic descent and its variants and the generalized doubling method.
