Advising
My field of expertise, commutative algebra, is a very broad one. A doctoral student interested in me as an advisor will have many potential options of problems to work on. If you'd like some ideas of what I've done and how I think about it, I recommend you read this
topical overview of my research. I find that my students are most successful when they take an active role deciding what problems to work on, how far to take a line of inquiry, what proof methods to use, etc. I see my role as a truly advisory one; the student drives the ship of inquiry. The problems I suggest are not necessarily the ones my students end up solving as the mathematical landscape becomes clearer.
