Research Interests
I have many interests. I am most interested in commutative algebra, but I am also interested in number theory and algebraic geometry. I finished my PhD in 2007 at the University of Illinois under the supervision of Sankar Dutta. Here is some professional information about me:- Curriculum Vitae (PDF)
- Publications
- The Ximera Project an NSF sponsered project for converting LaTeX notes to an interactive experience.
- m4th.pro(gramming)
Math Parody Songs
I sing and record noise which sometimes I call music. Here are some math parody songs. I did not write the lyrics for either of these. If you have a song that you want recorded, tell me and I might do it!- Nonabelian (MP3) The lyrics of this song were written by Mary Pat Campbell and Christopher Tuffley.
- Punk Rock Noetherian Girl (MP3) The lyrics of this song were written by Richard Green.
