Research Interests
- I am interested in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. Algebraic geometry is one of the oldest and yet most active disciplines in mathematics. The fi
- eld has strong ties to such diverse areas of mathematics as complex analysis, topology, and number theory, and
- it is also used in a wide variety of applied settings. Applications range from error-correcting codes in computer science and genomics to control theory and modeling in engineering.
- Algebraic geometers seek to understand algebraic varieties, geometric objects given locally as the solutions to polynomial equations. For instance, a plane curve is the zero set of a polynomial in
- two variables. The richness and simplicity of polynomial equations
- make algebraic varieties fascinating objects of study.
