- Education: D.Phil., University of Oxford
His primary research interests are in Additive Combinatorics and closely related fields. His work extensively covers combinatorics (especially probabilistic and extremal), number theory (especially analytic), probability and statistics, ergodic theory, topological dynamics, aspects of theoretical computer science, and analysis with a focus on Fourier methods. A central theme in his recent research is higher-order Fourier analysis, also known as the inverse theory of the Gowers norms, and its applications to problems like Freiman's theorem and the polynomial Freiman–Ruzsa conjecture.
An analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a deep and consistent focus on the structural properties of sets in additive combinatorics. His work frequently involves proving inverse theorems for Gowers norms, developing the theory of nilspaces, and tackling long-standing conjectures such as the Hall–Paige conjecture and Tomescu's graph coloring conjecture. His research employs sophisticated tools from harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and probability to derive quantitative bounds and establish the underlying algebraic structure of combinatorial objects.
