Research Area: Topological Semigroups
I study the algebraic structure of the Stone-Cech compactification
of a discrete semigroup and its applications to Ramsey Theory.
The latter field is a branch of combinatorics which deals
with structures that are guaranteed to be present in one cell
of a finite partition of specified sets, or often in any suitably large subset thereof.
