Sara Negri

Sara Negri (born January 21, 1967)[1] is a mathematical logician who studies proof theory. She is Italian, worked in Finland for several years, where she was a professor of theoretical philosophy in the University of Helsinki, and currently holds a position as professor of mathematical logic at the University of Genoa.[2]

Education and career

Negri was born in Padua,[1] and studied at the University of Padua. She earned a master's degree there in 1991 and a Ph.D. in 1996, both in mathematics.[3] Her dissertation, Dalla Topologia Formale all'Analisi, was supervised by Giovanni Sambin.[4]

She went to Helsinki as a docent in 1998, and became a full professor there in 2015. She has also taken several visiting positions,[3] including a Humboldt Fellowship in 2004–2005 at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.[3][5] She became full professor of mathematical logic at the University of Genoa, in Italy, in 2019.

Recognition

Negri was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2018.[6]

Negri is the co-author, with Jan von Plato, of two books:

  • Structural Proof Theory (Cambridge University Press, 2001)[7]
