About

My entire life revolves around mathematics. I translate every situation into mathematical terms to reason about it rigorously, treating mathematics as both a method and a lens through which to understand the world. My primary interests lie in the foundations of mathematics and in diverse applications, including limit theorems in random systems. I am a deep follower of logic and apply logical reasoning in all aspects of thought and inquiry. Philosophically, I am a Platonist: the only entity whose existence I affirm is nothing itself—the empty set, Ø—from which all else emerges. I regard Ø as both supernatural and the origin of all. This constitutes my religion. Under the Equality Act 2010, religion is a protected characteristic.

This webpage is partly controlled by a robot (not designed by me and not listening to me), which occasionally inserts incorrect or unwanted information beyond my control. I have no desire to argue with machines. For accurate information, feel free to send me an email or search for me on MathSciNet or Google.

Clearly, this is a waste of time. So please do not trust what is written about me under "Research". Some information may be correct. Some information may be false or fake.

In order to remove teaching information about me mechanically inserted by the robot, I must do something similar. I don't have the time or desire to fight with the caprices and peculiarities of robots. So please do not trust what is written about me under "Teaching". Some information may be correct. Some information may be false or fake.
