Research:

Frank Tall specializes in set theory and set-theoretic topology, fields in which he has authored around 90 papers. Of his 12 Ph.D. students, 9 are on university faculties: Indianapolis, Toronto, York (3), McMaster, P.E.I., São Paulo (2). His postdocs are at universities such as Winnipeg, Toronto, Trent, Haifa, Ohio, Calgary, and McMaster.

In addition to mathematics, he is interested in the psychology of teaching and learning, and complementary medicine. He is a certified Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming, is trained in hypnotherapy, a Reiki Master and has published in Nursing Science.
