Research Interests
I am a model theorist working on various problems at the nexus of logic, algebra, geometry and number
theory. My main interest is to recover concrete mathematical structure from given logical data, such as Lie
groups from definable groups, algebraic curves from definable sets with many rational points, algebraically
closed fields from strongly minimal structures, and algebraic topology (homotopy/homology) from semi-linear data. I have recently also become interested in applications of model theory to computer science, combinatorics, and the Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory in machine learning.
