Peder Thompson

Peder Thompson is a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at Mälardalen University, Sweden. He holds a PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2016) and has held previous academic positions including Assistant Professor at Niagara University (USA), and postdoctoral roles at NTNU (Norway) and Texas Tech University (USA). His research focuses on commutative and homological algebra, with interests extending to algebraic geometry, topology, and category theory. He emphasizes applying algebraic tools like resolutions and homology to study algebraic structures such as rings and modules.

Thompson's current research projects include exploring conjectures in Gorenstein homological algebra, understanding module structures over local rings, extending geometric concepts to triangulated categories, and investigating the invariant known as Cosupport. He teaches a wide range of university-level mathematics courses, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and advanced topics like Ring and Module Theory and Algebraic Geometry. His teaching philosophy prioritizes active learning to engage students directly with mathematical concepts.

His publications reflect a deep engagement with homological algebra, triangulated categories, and Gorenstein properties in algebraic structures. Recent work has addressed asymptotic behaviors of cohomology, rigidity in module theory, and applications of matrix factorizations. While no specific awards are listed, his extensive research output and diverse academic collaborations highlight his contributions to the field.
