I am currently an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Niagara University in Niagara Falls, NY; you can view my NU profile here. My research is in algebra, especially involving homological methods in commutative algebra, but my interests also extend into algebraic K-theoy, category theory, triangulated categories, algebraic representation theory, geometry, and topology. A list of my papers and other research interests can be found on my research page or on the arXiv. I am also passionate about teaching at all levels of mathematics and spending time with my family.
Recently, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim Norway, from 2018-2021, and prior to that I was a postdoc at Texas Tech University from 2016-2018. I received my PhD in 2016 from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where my advisor was Mark Walker. Before that, I received my BA (with majors in Mathematics and English Literature) from Augustana University. You can download a current version of my CV here.
The 16th Red Raider Mini-Symposium took place October 26-28, 2017 at TTU, organized by myself and Lars Winther Christensen. We had 40 participants, and the meeting included 15 speakers and 2 workshop events. For a list of the talks and participants, go to: https://sites.google.com/view/structures-on-free-resolutions
