Justin Chen

I am currently a postdoc at Georgia Tech, under Anton Leykin. My primary research interest is commutative algebra; secondary interests include (numerical) algebraic geometry and combinatorics.

During fall 2018 I will be taking part in the Nonlinear algebra program at ICERM.

I was a mathematics graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley from 2012 - 2018. My advisor was David Eisenbud.

I received a B.S. in Math from Purdue University, where I first learned commutative algebra from Bernd Ulrich.

You can reach me at "jchen" AT "math.berkeley.edu". My CV can be found here.
