Research Interests

My research interests lie in the field of model theory, a branch of mathematical logic. More specifically, I am interested in:

  • Pure and Applied Model Theory
  • Nonstandard Analysis
  • Model Theory for Metric Structures

Here is a link to my Curriculum Vitae.

I co-organized (with Sylvia Carlisle) the 10th annual Graduate Student Conference in Logic.
