Research Interests:

Logic, Boolean Algebras

Research:

My present research interests are the theory of infinite Boolean algebras and related set-theoretic topics, such as continuum cardinals and pcf theory. My previous research was in algebraic logic (cylindric algebras and relation algebras), and I also did some work in pure logic, set theory, and universal algebra.
