About me
I am an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My research focuses on commutative algebra with a geometric and computational flavor. Please see the menu above for my publications.
I have been awarded the 2024-2025 Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the AWM.
I am an editor for the Journal of Commutative Algebra. Please consider submitting your relevant work.
