Research area: Commutative Algebra

My research is centered in the field of commutative algebra, with an emphasis on its connections with geometry, topology, and combinatorics.  My work has a special focus on local cohomology and modules over rings of differential operators, and on understanding the positive characteristic setting.  Recently I have also become interested in formal theorem provers.
