Naveena Ragunathan

Hi! I'm Naveena Ragunathan, a first year PhD student at McMaster University. I'm a part of the Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry Group, and I'm studying Combinatorial Commutative Algebra supervised by Dr. Adam Van Tuyl. I am interested in the Lefschetz Properties, and have defended my Masters Thesis in December 2025, examining the Lefschetz Properties of Artinian rings created from the van der Waerden simplicial complexes. 

I completed my Honours Bachelors of Science at the University of Toronto Scarborough in 2023, where I double majored in Mathematics and Economics for Management, and minored in Environmental Science.
