Research Interests

I am interested primarily in applications of logic---specifically, model theory---to real analytic geometry, geometric measure theory, asymptotic analysis, and questions of differentiability and analyticity of real functions, via studying sets and functions that are definable in "well-behaved'' (e.g., o-minimal) first-order structures on the field of real numbers. Determining which structures should be regarded as well behaved is part of the job.
