About

Samuel joined the mathematics department in 2012. Previously he earned undergraduate degrees at the University of Washington and a PhD from Rutgers University. He held postdoctoral positions at the City University of New York, the Max Planck Institute, and the Fields Institute.

Samuel is primarily interested in set theory. Much of his work lies in Borel complexity theory, which is an area of descriptive set theory that aims to study the relative complexity of classification problems in mathematics. Additional interests include logic, model theory, computability theory, and combinatorics.
