Research Interests
 
Formulations of Freyd's generating hypothesis, a fundamental conjecture in stable homotopy theory, in general stable categories. The relationship between the generating hypothesis and ring theory (e.g., notions of homological dimension). Semisimple and von Neumann regular ring spectra. The global structure of stable categories (thick subcategory classification, nilpotence theorems, model categories). Ring spectrum structures on generalized Smith-Toda complexes.
