I am an assistant professor in the mathematics department at Oklahoma State University. My research interest is commutative algebra. You can see some of my professional information here:
This semester, I am teaching one section of Math 2153, a second-semester calculus class. If you're enrolled in my section, you can go to the Maple TA and Desire2Learn sites for the courses.
I spent 2004-2007 as a postdoc in the math department at the University of Missouri. I finished my Ph.D. in mathematics at Cornell University in the summer of 2004. At Cornell, I worked with Mike Stillman, studying Hilbert functions and the minimal graded free resolutions associated to them. I frequently use the computer algebra system Macaulay 2, written by Dan Grayson and Mike Stillman.
In 1999, I graduated with degrees in mathematics and economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While at Illinois, I got interested in commutative algebra thanks to Graham Evans, my undergraduate mentor. I am originally from Lawrence, Kansas, and I graduated from Lawrence High School in 1995.
In the summer of 2001, I married Cynthia Bowers Francisco, who also works in the math department at OSU.
