My
research interested are primarily in
noncommutative algebra and algebraic geometry. In particular,
I
study associated primes and tosion thoery. I have classified
the
associated primes of skew-polynomial modules over Ore extensions of the
form R[x;s], where s is a surjective endomorphism of the base ring
R. My dissertation expands this result to generalized Weyl
algebras. My future research is currently focused on
so-called
`generalized Laurent-polynomial' rings, as well attemtps to find the
torsion-theoretic analogues of my previous work.
