Alex

I am a sixth-year PhD student in the Logic Group at UC Berkeley. My advisor is Tom Scanlon.

I work in the area of mathematical logic, and specifically in model theory and o-minimality. For my dissertation, I am studying ultraproducts of o-minimal structures, and in general, structures that satisfy certain weakenings of o-minimality. For more on my research, see below (in particular, see my Research Statement for more details).

I'm teaching Numerical Analysis (128A) this semester: Course Webpage, Section Webpage.

My wife, Julia Nefsky, has a webpage too.

The Non-Axiomatizability of O-Minimality
Updated March 12, 2012 ▪ Arxiv Link ▪ PDF Version
I show that the theory of o-minimality in a fixed language properly extending the language of real closed fields is not recursively axiomatizable.
▪ This is a condensed version of a chapter of my thesis.
▪ A version of this paper has been submitted.
