Welcome! 

I am a Professor in the Mathematics Department at Cal Poly Humboldt . My research interests mainly concern noncommutative algebras that arise in noncommutative algebraic geometry, topology and physics. Some key words for things that I am currently interested in: Artin-Schelter regular and Calabi-Yau algebras; Feigen-Odesskii elliptic algebras, graded twisted tensor products; noncommutative invariant theory, Frobenius extensions, Azumaya loci, polynomial identity algebras, and the use of functorial algebraic geometry to understand noncommutative algebras. 

I usually teach courses in calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra and number theory. I also like to teach independent study courses for advanced mathematics students. Some of the most recent topics have included: elliptic curves, p-adic Numbers, matrix Lie groups, Groebner bases, Lie algebras, algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, algebraic topology, and representation theory of finite groups.
