I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Nebraska — Lincoln, and my research is in commutative algebra. Before joining UNL, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside, a postdoc at The University of Michigan, and a graduate student at the
University of Virginia,
where my PhD advisor was
Craig Huneke.
I am originally from Portugal, where I first learned commutative algebra
from
Maria Vaz Pinto at Instituto Superior Técnico.
My research is supported by NSF CAREER grant DMS-2236983, and I am co-PI on the NSF RTG grant Commutative Algebra at Nebraska.
Lecture notes: here are my lecture notes on symbolic powers and some talk notes and videos of talks. For other lecture notes, see my teaching page. All the materials for the July 2026 SLMath Summer School on Singularities in commutative algebra through cohomological methods with Ben Briggs and Josh Pollitz can be found here.
I organize CHAMPS, showcasing the work of early-career researchers in commutative algebra and related fields on the US academic job market.
