I am an Associate Professor at George Mason University, studying commutative algebra. I received my PhD from the University of Michigan in Summer 2016, under the guidance of Mel Hochster, and then did a postdoc at Syracuse University from 2016-2018. 

I have three main research interests:

• Closure operations as a tool for studying singularities

• Free resolutions and matrix factorizations, particularly over rings of characteristic p>0

• Applications to neuroscience, including neural ideals, place cells, and grid cells

My teaching interests include the use of active learning and inquiry in the classroom. See https://www.comathinquiry.org/ to find groups interested in using inquiry in the classroom.
