Welcome to my website

I am a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Paris 7. I obtained a B.Sc. degree in 1982 from the University of Belgrade, Serbia and PhD degree in 1986 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Before moving to Paris in 1994 I spent some time teaching in Pasadena, Berkeley, Toronto and Pittsburgh.

My research interests predominantly fall into four areas:

Combinatorial Set Theory and Forcing

• Forcing axioms, iterated forcing
• Partitions relations and Ramsey Theory
• Cardinal invariants of the continuum
• Cardinal Arithmetic and Shelah's PCF Theory
• Applications of Combinatorial Set Theory to Topology, Measure Theory and Banach Space Theory

Games and Infinitary Languages

• Long Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé Games and Infinitary Languages
• Games on Boolean Algebras and Partial Orderings

Classification Problems and Definable Equivalence Relations

• The structure of Definable Equivalence Relations
• Complexity of various classification problems in Algebra and Analysis

Theoretical Computer Science

• Complexity Theory
• Derandomization of probabilistic algorithms and explicit constructions
