Biography

Born in Tel Aviv in 1952, Arnon Avron studied mathematics at Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, receiving a Ph.D. magna cum laude from Tel Aviv University in 1985. Between 1986 and 1988, he was a visitor at the University of Edinburgh's Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, where he began his association with computer science.[2]

In 1988 he became a senior faculty member of the Department of Computer Science (later School of Computer Science) of Tel Aviv University, chairing the School in 1996–1998, and becoming a Full Professor in 1999.[2]

Research

Avron's research interests include proof theory, automated reasoning, non-classical logics, foundations of mathematics, and applications of mathematical logic in computer science and artificial intelligence. Arnon made a significant contribution to the theory of automated reasoning with his introduction of hypersequents, a generalization of the sequent calculus.[3][4] Avron also introduced the use of bilattices to paraconsistent logic, and made contributions to predicative set theory and geometry.[2]
