About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in Model Theory and an assistant of Martin Ziegler. My initial interest was in o-minimality and expansions of the ordered field of reals. I am now more interested in algebraic and abstract Model Theory and hope to focus my research in these areas.

I obtained PhD in the University of Manchester under the supervision of Alex Wilkie funded by Maloa, and MSc and BSc in the Polytechnic University of Tehran under the supervision of Mas’ud Purmahdian and Farhad Rahmati.

Works

• PhD and Msc Theses
• On the Metrizability of Cone Metric Spaces, joint with M. Pourmahdian, Journal of Topology and its Application.
• The field of reals with a predicate for real algebraic numbers and a predicate for the integer powers of two, AFML.
• Extension of a Row in Mutually Indiscernible Arrays in Strong Theories

Informal Works

• The Ignorance of Bourbaki, translation of an article written by A.R.D Mathias, into Persian.
• Simplicity, explained simply
• Quantifier Elimination
• Translation of Alex Wilkie’s paper: 'Model completeness results for the expansions of the ordered field of real numbers by restricted Pfaffian functions and the exponential function' into Persian.
• Notes taken in Martin Ziegler's Model Theory 2 course, in Persian.
• A selective translation around forking, NTP2 and difference valued fields (mostly from parts of Ziegler and Tent's model theory book, Casanovas notes on NTP2 and Chernikov and Hill's paper on NTP2 and difference valued fields).
• Exercises in model theory.
