Research Interests

My research interests are in commutative algebra. Recently I have been looking into characterizing properties of rings associated to a one-dimensional analytically irreducible local domains using the value semigroup. My advisor was Professor William Heinzer.

The National Science Foundation GK-12 Program

I was a fellow for the NSF GK-12 program from 2005-2006. As a visiting scientist at a local middle school, I designed and taught inquiry-based lessons along with math and science teachers. The following lessons plans are available on the Purdue GK-12 website.
    Caesar Ciphers: An Introduction to Cryptography
    A Financial Lesson Plan
