Hans Nordstrom | Mathematics

Welcome to my mathematics homepage!  I have been teaching mathematics and science for the last twenty-eight years, including a stint in the Peace Corps.  Of course, for six of those years I taught as a Mathematics graduate student at the University of Oregon in Eugene.  I received my B.A. in Mathematics and English Literature from Lewis & Clark College, and my M.S. and Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Oregon. 

My current research interests are in noncommutative ring theory and algebraic geometry (see my current CV). (My Ph.D. advisor was Brad Shelton.)  If you are interested you can read a bit about my research and obtain recent preprints of my publications on my research page.  I have interest in student research in my own fields as a well as combinatorial game theory and computational algebra.

I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of Portland and a Lecturer for AIMS Ghana. This semester, I am teaching a section of MTH 341 Intro to Linear Algebra.  I regularly teach a 3-week intensive graduate-level course in Category Theory at the African Institute for Mathematics Sciences [AIMS] campus in Ghana.
