Zachary Nason
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln advised by Tom Marley. I'm interested in commutative algebra and homological algebra, and am currently working on extending concepts and techniques in these fields (e.g. Cohen-Macaualy and Gorenstein rings) to differential graded algebras. I received my MS in mathematics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2023, and my BS in mathematics from the University of Kansas in 2020.
My email is znason2@huskers.unl.edu, and my office is at Avery 311. Feel free to stop by or to send me an email if you have any questions or just want to chat.
