Benedikt Löwe

Löwe studied mathematics and philosophy at the universities of Hamburg, Tübingen, HU Berlin, and Berkeley. In 2001, he completed his PhD entitled Blackwell Determinacy about determinacy under supervision of Donald A. Martin and Ronald Björn Jensen.[3] He works at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation of the University of Amsterdam since 2003 and was appointed professor for mathematical logic and interdisciplinary applications of logic at the University of Hamburg in 2009.[4] Currently, he is also an extraordinary fellow at Churchill College of the University of Cambridge.[5] Löwe was Managing Editor of the journal Mathematical Logic Quarterly from 2011 to 2022.[6]

He is the Secretary General of the Division for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology[7] and a member of the International Academy for Philosophy of Science[8] and the Academia Europaea.[9] From 2012 to 2022, he was the President of the German Association for Mathematical Logic and for Basic Research in the Exact Sciences (DVMLG).
