Research Interests :
Commutative Algebra with applications to Algebraic Geometry: Frobenius complexity, intersection algebras, tight closure theoy, multiplicity theory, Hilbert and Hilbert-Kunz functions, integral closure of ideals, homological conjectures, filtrations of ideals, local cohomology and singularities of local rings. I am also interested in applications of algebra to digital circuit design. Publication List
