SEMINARS & PRESENTATIONS

Invited talks.

Enumerations and Computing Generics

Logic Seminar · Iowa State University

Quasiminimal enumeration degrees and the computational strength of the total degrees above them, and the generic sets they compute.

Ahmad pairs and the local structure of the enumeration degrees

ASL North America 2026 · University of Pennsylvania

Characterizations of the left halves of Ahmad pairs and the separation between left and right halves in the local enumeration degrees.

Defining low₃, high₂ in the Σ₂ e-degrees

SEALS 2026 · University of Florida

Using Ahmad pairs to obtain definitions of the low₃ and high₂ degrees in the language of the ordering of the Σ₂ enumeration degrees.

Enumeration Degrees — Local and Global Structure

Graduate Student Seminar · University of Illinois Chicago

A survey of enumeration reducibility and its relationship to Turing reducibility, contrasting the local structures of the enumeration and Turing degrees, followed by new work and open questions.

Contrasting the Halves of an Ahmad Pair

Midwest Computability Seminar XXXV · University of Chicago

Ahmad pairs in the Σ⁰₂ enumeration degrees and their role as an obstacle to understanding the ∀∃ theory of the local structure.

Separating the Halves of an Ahmad Pair

Logic Seminar · University of Wisconsin–Madison

Characterizing left halves of Ahmad pairs as low₃ and join-irreducible sets, and showing that right halves cannot be low₃.

Characterizing Ahmad Pairs in the Local Structure

Logic Seminar · University of Wisconsin–Madison

A characterization of the left halves of Ahmad pairs, and a hierarchy of Ahmad n-pairs described through notions of join irreducibility.
