[1] In 1978, he was a Royal Society Fellow and visiting scientist at CNRS at Paris Diderot University.

Later, he dealt with applications of model theory in other areas of mathematics, including Nash manifolds and groups, algebraic theory of differential equations and differential algebra, classification of compact complex manifolds, and diophantine geometry.

In 2009 he was invited to present the Tarski Lectures, titled Compact Spaces, Definability, and Measures, in Model Theory.

His three lectures were titled "The Logic Topology", "Lie Groups from Nonstandard Models", and "Measures and Domination".
