I am interested in computational and homological aspects of commutative algebra, especially the structure of free resolutions. Most recently, I have been studying the minimal free resolutions of commutative Koszul algebras.

1. Koszul almost complete intersections J. Algebra 501 (2018), 285-302.
   We prove a structure theorem for the defining ideals of Koszul almost complete intersections and, in the process, give an affirmative answer for all such rings to a question of Avramov, Conca, and Iyengar about the Betti numbers of Koszul algebras.
2. Matrix factorizations and singularity categories in codimension two Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. Accepted.
   We show how to functorially connect the Eisenbud-Peeva matrix factorizations of a complete intersection of codimension two to its singularity category by way of the graded matrix factorizations of Burke and Walker.
