Giuseppe Longo |
Curriculum Vitae:
Positions
- Directeur de Recherches, Departement de Mathematiques et Informatique, ENS Paris
- Former professor of Computer Science at the Universita' di Pisa
Miscellaneous Scientific Activities
Editor-in-chief of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, Editor of Information and Computation, Editor of Theoretical Informatics and Applications. Programme Committes of about 20 Conferences in Logic and Computer Science (forthcoming: CSL98, LICS'98, Chairman of LICS'99).
Main Research Interests:
- Theory of Computation, Type Theory, Category Theory and their applications to Computer Science, Syntactic and semantic properties of "core" functional languages, Combinatory Logic, Lambda-calculus and their extensions. However, he always investigated these topics in its broadest setting which relates it to Recursion Theory, Proof Theory and Category Theory.
- In this perspective, Longo worked at Axiomatic Approaches to Recursion Theory, Higher Type Recursion Theory, Domain Theory and Category Theory as part of a unified mathematical framework for the theory and the design of functional languages. In a sense, Longo has always been mostly interested in the "interconnecting results" or "bridges" and applications among different areas and to language design. Recent interests: Cognitive Sciences.
