My research is in Algebra, with a particular focus on its connections to real-world problems. In Cryptography, I study methods for keeping information secure by transforming it into coded forms that can only be read by authorized parties. This area of mathematics plays a critical role in technologies we use every day, including online banking, private messaging, and the protection of digital identities.

I also work in Logic, which emphasizes clear reasoning and problem-solving, as well as Universal Algebra, a field that explores the common structures and patterns underlying algebraic systems such as groups, rings, and lattices.

Beyond my research, I enjoy teaching a wide range of mathematics courses and collaborating with students on projects that demonstrate how mathematics can come to life beyond the classroom.
