Teaching

I am on sabbatical leave for the academic year 2009-10.

Winter 2009: As part of the thematic program in o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry at the Fields Institute in Toronto, three graduate courses were taught. The lecture notes for my portion of these courses can be found here. Last update: February 4, 2010 (updated references). Comments are welcome!

Research

I work in model theory, o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry (more details). I was one of the organizers of a thematic program in o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry at the Fields Institute in Toronto from January to June 2009.

Some of the published papers are only accessible with a subscription. Reprints are available from me upon request. Preprints are in pdf format.
