About me
I am a 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.
In 2026 I co-organize the workshop Asymptotic Invariants of Linear Systems and Homogeneous Ideals with Symmetries in Oberwolfach.
I am an editor for the Journal of Commutative Algebra and Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. Please consider submitting your relevant work.

Undergraduate Activities
I mentor teams of students working in the Polymath Jr. large-scale undergraduate research program. An article about this program appeared in the Notices of the AMS When life gives you lemons, make mathematicians.
I am the founder and director of the Nebraska Experimental Mathematics and Outreach (NEMO) Lab affiliated with the Geometry Labs United network.
