Current teaching
This semester (Spring 2024-25) I am teaching Complex integration and ring theory (MTHA5003B), Real analysis (MTHA4003B), and Sets and categories with advanced topics (MTHE6027B). Also, module organizer for MTHA5003B, for the Mathematics Dissertation module (MTH7029Y), and for the Mathematics Projects module (MTHA6005Y).PhD supervision
I am happy to supervise PhD theses in various flavours of set theory. Please contact me for any further details. Here are two short descriptions of specific PhD projects.High Forcing Axioms
Cardinal Characteristics Above the Continuum
Research
My work in mathematics is in set theory. I am mostly interested in forcing, forcing axioms, large cardinals, infinite combinatorics, and the interactions between these areas.
Awards
I am the recipient, together with Ralf Schindler, of:
- The 5th Hausdorff medal, awarded by the European Set Theory Society.
- A Frontiers of Science award, awarded by the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (July 2023).
- Dov Gabbay Prize 2024, awarded by Initiative for Logic and Foundations a.s.b.l. (2024).
