Info for prospective students (graduate)

Broadly speaking, I am interested in algebraic problems with a combinatorial flavor. I have worked a lot on problems that mix together representation theory and commutative algebra.
Some useful reference books are (Eisenbud and Weyman require some basic knowledge of algebraic geometry to appreciate): In addition, I have written some expository texts on my research.
If you are potentially interested in working with me, I encourage you to contact me earlier rather than later. A possible starting point could be a reading course on one or more of the above texts.
Below, you will find a list of my former students and what they did after graduating.

Info for prospective students (undergraduate)

I regularly advise undergraduate students in various capacities (reading courses, senior thesis, research projects).
Students typically work on something related to combinatorics or algebra (or both).
If you are interested in one of these opportunities, I encourage you to write to me explaining your interests.
While there is no hard prerequisite, depending on your tastes, having taken at least Math 188 or Math 100ABC (and/or some graduate version) will be helpful.
If you have not yet completed any relevant coursework, I would need a very compelling reason to work with you.

Here are some papers that have resulted from my supervision: Here are past honors theses that I have advised: Back
