My entry in the university's database
The math department's page for me

I just finished my Ph.D. in mathematics at Cornell University. This fall, I will be a postdoctoral fellow in the mathematics department at the University of Missouri. Thanks to Graham Evans, my undergraduate mentor, I am particularly interested in commutative algebra. At Cornell, I worked with Mike Stillman, and I am currently 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.

You can see some of my professional information here:

• Preprints

• Publications list with abstracts
• Research statement
• Teaching statement with student comments

In 1999, I graduated with degrees in mathematics and economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I was in the Campus Honors Program. 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. She is an instructor of mathematics at Ithaca College.

Here are some of my nonmathematical interests.
