Title: Benefits of Interdisciplinary Mathematics – Graphs & Ideals

Abstract: When choosing research projects, students can often get siloed into one research group. However, many interesting problems can arise at the intersection of several mathematical areas and looking at a mathematical object from different research perspectives can provide useful tools and insights. In this talk, I'll briefly discuss my experience working in between Graph Theory and Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. I'll discuss some of the connections between these fields and some results produced by exploring those connections.
