Research interests

I am interested in several areas of pure mathematics. Much of my research lies at the interface of analysis, discrete mathematics and number theory, a particular interest being the application of the first two subjects to the third. I have also worked on topics in group theory and discrete geometry. My best known result is my joint work with Terence Tao, establishing that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of prime numbers.
