Research

I am interested in the intersection of Ring Theory and Linear Algebra. More specifically, I study algebras which are linearly spanned by elements of various types and their embeddings as infinite matrix algebras. Furthermore, I am interested in in exploring these topics in combinatorially defined algebras such as Leavitt path algebras .

I am also interested in Algebraic Coding Theory, specifically generalizations of Reed-Solomon codes and their applications to problems of communication and distributed storage.

I keep a semi-updated blog of my research activities and other odds and ends here: InOverMyHead Math Blog
