Hello! I am an Associate Professor in Mathematics at Wake Forest University. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Nebraska under the direction of Lucho Avramov, and did my postdoctoral work at Cornell University under the direction of Irena Peeva.

I am primarily interested in homological questions arising from commutative algebra, as well as questions in non-commutative algebra inspired by the commutative theory. I also enjoy developing software to help in experimenting with problems I am working on. See the section on software below. Below are a few neat math links, my schedule, and some of the research projects I have worked on.
