About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Swansea University. My research interests are applied algebraic geometry, and commutative algebra, in particular, their applications for solving problems arising in geometric modeling and Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). Previously, from 2013 to 2017, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Group of Symbolic Computation at RICAM, in Linz, Austria.

Teaching Interests

MA-233 Projective Geometry: This module gives an introduction to various properties of projective geometry. It aims at strengthening the understanding of linear algebra by demonstrating its geometrical significance, while also pointing towards more advanced algebraic geometry.

MA-231 Advanced Geometry: This module covers conics sections, projective geometry as well as problems in non-euclidean geometry.

MA-312 Higher Algebra: This module approaches the theory of algebraic modules, exact sequences, and classification of abelian groups. It also introduces categories as a language and unifying force in modern mathematics.

MA-212 Groups and Rings:  This module approaches the theory of groups, rings and modules as abstract algebraic objects.
