Research Interests
Research areas.
1. Model theory: model theory of valued fields, stability theory and generalisations (e.g. `measurable structures'),
model theory of groups, model theory of finite structures (e.g. of finite groups).
2. Permutation groups: infinite permutation groups as automorphism groups of omega-categorical or homogeneous structures,
subgroups of infinite symmetric groups, connections to finite permutation groups.
