Research Abstract
My research interests focus on set theory with emphasis on inner model theory, infinitary combinatorics, large cardinals and forcing. Most of my results are concern analysis of the internal structure and combinatorics of fine structural extender models that generalize Jensen's analysis of the constructible universe, and computing lower bounds for the consistency strength of infinitary combinatrial principles. Recently I began to work on forcing constructions that yield possibly optimal upper bounds for consistency strength of infinitary combinatorial principles (such as Jensen's square) as well as on applications of inner model theory in descriptive set theory.
