Nominator's project description

Professor Anand Pillay is one of the most distinguished logicians for his outstanding scientific achievements in the field of model theory and for the contribution he has made to the application of model theory results in other fields of mathematics. Model theorists in Germany are looking forward to working on a joint research project on geometrical stability theory with Anand Pillay.
