David Masser works mainly on transcendental number theory, Diophantine approximation, and Diophantine geometry, especially applying the techniques of the first and second areas to the third. In the last few years, he has focused on certain finiteness results obtained through height bounds, with unexpected consequences for Pell’s equation and elementary integration.
