I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Alabama. My research is in Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra, and interactions with Representation Theory.
My work is funded under National Science Foundation Grant No. DMS-2601624: Group Actions and Hodge Theory in Commutative Algebra.
Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and at Queen's University. I received my Ph.D. in May 2020 from the University of Notre Dame, where my advisor was Claudiu Raicu. My thesis was titled Equivariant D-Modules on Spaces of Tensors and Applications to Local Cohomology.Â
Here is my CV (last updated August 2026).
