Teaching

This Spring Semester, I am teaching MTH 113 (an introduction to probability and statistics - here is the syllabus) and MTH 350, Mathematical Logic. The topic of that course will be Computability Theory this semester, here is the syllabus.

I have a website on which I will post problems for the lab sessions accompanying MTH 113. Clicking the icon above will also take you there.

Research Interests

• Set Theory
• Inner Model Theory
• Forcing, Forcing Axioms
• Applications of Set Theory in Algebra
