Main research area is the application of set-theoretic techniques, especially infinite combinatorics. A central problem is the existence of universal elements in various classes of models. This problem is sensitive to the underlying set theory, and many times leads to independence results, but still there are results obtained in ZFC (the accepted axiom system for set theory) which concern the class of infinite abelian groups, the class of linear orderings, the class of infinite homogeneous bipartite graphs and other classes
