MSc and PhD

 

My undergraduate MSc and PhD studies were in mathematics (Fucntional Analysis and Topology). My PhD research resulted in proving that "The set of idempotents in the weakly almost periodic compactification of the integers is not closed", which answers an old open question challenged for around 30 years.
