I am an assistant professor at Washington & Jefferson College outside of Pittsburgh, PA
I finished my PhD at Binghamton University working under Fernando Guzmán. My research interests are in universal algebra, particularly ordered algebraic structures. Specifically I study the ideal theory and spectral properties of commutative BCK-algebras. I am also interested in the interplay between the category of commutative BCK-algebras, the category of generalized spectral spaces, and the category of distributive lattices (with zero).
Here is my CV (updated 8/18/2026)
