Ricardo Carrera

Ricardo Carrera is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Nova Southeastern University's Halmos College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans algebraic ordered structures, category theory, topology, and cryptography, with a focus on lattice-ordered groups, frame theory, and their applications to number theory.

• Ph.D. and M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Florida (2001, 2004)
• B.S.E. in Engineering Physics and B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (1998)

His pedagogical interests include integrating technology into education and developing outreach programs like Behind the Numbers and Matrix Math Column. Recent publications explore topics such as compact normal joinfit frames, hull classes in topology, and essential morphisms in lattice-ordered groups. Carrera also teaches courses like Abstract Algebra, Calculus, and Applied Cryptography, while maintaining an active research profile with a Scopus h-index of 35 and 47 total outputs since 1999.
