Research Interests
	My research interests are in commutative algebra, finite abelian groups, combinatorics and number theory. In particular, I am very interested in problems concerning factorization of elements in integral domains and monoids. You can find a complete list of my publications on my VITA. You can find a list of my publications with undergraduates here. Here are some recent titles which can be downloaded as pdf files: "Quasi-half-factorial subsets of abelian torsion groups,'" (with W. A. Schmid and W. W. Smith) to appear in Houston J. Math. `"On the delta-set of a singular arithmetical congruence monoid," (with P. Baginski and G. Schaeffer) to appear in J. Théor. Nombres Bordeaux. "The catenary and tame degree of numerical semigroups," (with P. A. García-Sánchez and D. Llena) to appear in Forum Math. "On the asymptotic behavior of unions of sets of lengths in atomic monoids," (with P. Baginski, N. Hine and J. Paixao) to appear in Involve. "Sets of Lengths and Unions of Sets of Lengths do not Characterize Numerical Monoids," (with J. Amos, N. Hine* and J. Paixao) submitted. "On minimal distances in Krull monoids with infinite class group," (with W. A. Schmid and W. W. Smith) submitted. "A theorem on accepted elasticity in local arithmetical congruence monoids," (with M. Banister, J. Chaika and W. Meyerson) submitted. "Shifts of generators and Delta sets of numerical monoids," (with N. Kaplan, T. Lemburg, A. Niles and C. Zlogar) submitted. "Delta sets of numerical monoids are eventually periodic," (with R. Hoyer and N. Kaplan) submitted. "How far is an element from being prime?" (with D.F. Anderson) submitted. Slides from Recent Invited Talks* "Why Factorization Theory: The Basics," Keynote Address at the MAA-PREP Workshop The Art of Factorization in Multiplicative Structures, May 2007.
