I am a member of the Mathematical Logic Group of the University of Bonn.

Research

My research is centered around applications of combinatorial set theory and forcing to geometry, topology, algebra and analysis. However, I am also interested in (finite) combinatorics and complexity.

Teaching

Winter 2009/10

This winter semester I am teaching a course in model theory. The lectures take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 2 in Room LWK 006. Office hours are after the class or by appointment, i.e., whenever I am available in my office.

Model theory studies mathematical theories from an abstract point of view. After proving the basic theorems, we will consider applications to algebra and the connections between finite model theory and algorithmic complexity. The necessary background in logic can be provided during the lecture.

The exercises that came up in the lecture notes until Thursday are due on Thursday, one week later.

The lecture notes (with exercises) are here.

Here are some additional lecture notes that might be useful for some parts of the course:

Summer 2009

In the summer semester 2009 I taught a course on infinite Ramsey theory. The lecture notes (with exercises) are here.
