Research & Interests

My research interests and publications lie in algebra, particularly in combinatorial commutative algebra. I have worked on problems concerning the (co)homology of combinatorically defined objects such as monomial algebras and have given seminars both in Ireland and abroad. I am also interested in various teaching methodologies and strategies.
