Research

My area of research is commutative algebra and algebraic geometry (MSC 13 and 14).

I study algebraic geometry with actual polynomials, especially Waring rank.

My dissertation was titled “Multiplier Ideals of Line Arrangements”. I computed the multiplier ideals of general arrangements of lines through the origin in $\mathbb{C}^3$, and even for “most” special arrangements. I studied under Rob Lazarsfeld at University of Michigan.
