Bio/Research

Most of my research has been in the field of algebraic K-theory. This field is, in some sense, a fancy generalization of linear algebra to arbitrary rings. As such, it has applications in many other areas of mathematics such as topology, algebraic geometry, and even the theory of Markov processes. I have been most interested in the computational aspects of the subject, in particular, the computation of quotients of rings of algebraic integers and in the computation of the Whitehead group for finite abelian groups.
