Research Interests

My research interests stretched into Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. In particular, most of my research contributions fall in the characterization and classification problems in combinatorial commutative algebra. Moreover, I am interested in enumerative combinatorics and applied aspects of combinatorial algebra. 

Teaching Philosophy

My mathematical teaching philosophy is based on ”Plato’s Meno”. In my lectures, I help my students to establish conceptual learning by ”raising critical questions”. At the graduate level, my exam questions are testing their abilities of critical thinking and establish stern arguments. Through these ways, I expose my students to ”Mathesis Universalis”: the method for scientific and philosophical thinking, that was envisaged by Rene Descartes and Gottfried Leibniz. I am a mathematics enthusiast, so I make special efforts to introduce a mathematical topic with historical rhetoric and applied aspects: in the most relatable and captivating ways.
