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.
