Conference TANCL'07 (Algebraic and Topological Methods in Non-classical Logics III)

This conference, sponsored by the London Mathematical Society and the British Logic Colloquium, was held at St Anne's College and the Mathematical Institute, Oxford, from 5-9 August, 2007. Abstracts of the 70 conference presentations, and slides of almost all of these, can be found on the conference website.

Research

Research interests

Lattice theory, ordered sets, ordered topological structures, and yrelated areas; applications in logic and computer science.

Specifically, my work has involved Priestley duality for distributive lattices, topological dualities for varieties of distributive lattices with additional operations and the theory of natural dualities for such varieties. Recently I have been working, in collaboration with Mai Gehrke, on duality and canonical extensions. In particular, we have been developing new dualities for certain varieties of algebras associated with non-classical propositional logics.
