Research My research area is commutative algebra and its connection to other areas like combinatorics and algebraic geometry. I am interested in homological invariants, edge ideals, simplicial complexes, sets of points in (multi)-projective spaces, toric ideals, symbolic powers of ideals, Hadamard products, and combinatorial matrix theory.

Here is a link to our biweekly Algebra and Algebraic Geometry Seminar

I am also part of the group Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry @McMaster. Check this link to find out more about our group, and information for potential graduate students.

Teaching In 2023-24, I will be teaching the following courses:

• Math 701 - Algebra I (Fall 2023)
  
• Math 4GR3/6GR3 - Groups and Rings (Winter 2024)
  
  

Conferences I am currently involved with the following conferences:

• Unexpected and Asymptotic Properties of Algebraic Varieties (aka BrianFest) a conference in Lincoln, Nebraska that will celebrate the work of Brian Harbourne. The meeting is organized with Susan Cooper, and Alexandra Seleceanu. Date: August 11-13, 2023.
• Special Session on Commutative Algebra at the CMS Winter Meeting, December 2023, Montreal, PQ organized with Sankhaneel Bisui and Thai Nguyen
• Thematic Program in Commutative Algebra, a semester long program at the Fields Institute. The workshop will be organized with David Eisenbud, Elisa Gorla, Megumi Harada, Jenna Rajchgot, and Hal Schenck. Date: Jan-June 2025.
