About Ali Enayat

I am a mathematical logician whose research work is focused on model theory of arithmetic and set theory, and axiomatic theories of truth. My CV can be found via the link below my picture.

I began my work at GU as Professor of Logic in May of 2013. Since July 1, 2020, I have been academically affiliated with GU as Emeritus Professor of Logic.  

I am currently a member of the team of researchers working on the project EPISTEMIC AND SEMANTIC COMMITMENTS OF FOUNDATIONAL THEORIES  (supported by a MAESTRO grant of the Polish National Science Centre, 2020-2025).

Prior to my arrival in Gothenburg in 2013, I served as Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at American University, Washington, DC. I have also held faculty positions at the Mathematics Departments of Sharif University (Iran), Western Illinois University (USA), and San Jose State University (USA); as well as visiting research positions at IPM (Iran), the Department of Philosophy at Utrecht University (the Netherlands), and the Mittag-Leffler Institute (Sweden).

I grew up in Tehran, Iran during the ancien régime, and graduated from Alborz High School in 1976, three years before the Iranian Revolution. I received my B.S. degree in Mathematics from Iowa State University (1979), and my Ph.D. in Mathematics (1984) from the University of Wisconsin (Madison), under the direction of Ken Kunen with a thesis on models of set theory.
