Research & Publications

This page perpetually under construction.

My research interests (currently) lie mostly in the fields of commutative algebra and algebraic number theory. Below is a list of published papers and projects that I am working on. This list is in (more or less) chronological order. If these tantalizing titles make you salivate, drop me a line.
