I am an Assistant 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.
In Spring 2024, I am a research member in the
Commutative Algebra program at the
Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (formerly known as MSRI).
Lecture notes: my
lecture notes on symbolic powers are under construction and still missing several chapters. You can find other lecture and talk notes and a few videos of talks
here. Here are my notes on
homological algebra.
I organize
CHAMPS, showcasing the work of early-career researchers in commutative algebra and related fields on the US academic job market.
Keri Sather-Wagstaff and I started CHAMPS in 2020 as a weekly online seminar; since Fall 2022, CHAMPS is focused on profiling the early-career researchers on the market, and there are no live seminars.
