Biography
After obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Philosophy from the University of Pittsburgh, I did postdoctoral research in
- Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Engineering, University of Groningen,
- Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam,
- Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford,
- Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Dalhousie University.
At Illinois, I am an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy, and also
- a member of the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology Center (IQUIST),
- an affiliate assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics.
Research Interests
My primary interest is in
- Logic in Computer Science; Category Theory;
- Foundations of Quantum Physics and Computer Science;
- History and Philosophy of Logic,
but I also have publications in venues in computer science, physics, linguistics, mathematical psychology, etc.
