Jouko Väänänen

Jouko Antero Väänänen (born September 3, 1950 in Rovaniemi, Lapland)[1] is a Finnish mathematical logician known for his contributions to set theory,[2][3][4][5] model theory,[6][7][8] logic[9][10][11] and foundations of mathematics.[5][12] He served as the vice-rector at the University of Helsinki,[13] and a professor of mathematics at the University of Helsinki, as well as a professor of mathematical logic and foundations of mathematics at the University of Amsterdam.[14][15] He completed his PhD at the University of Manchester under the supervision of Peter Aczel in 1977 with the PhD thesis entitled "Applications of set theory to generalized quantifiers".[16] He was elected to the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters in 2002.[17] He served as a member of the Senate of the University of Helsinki from 2004 to 2006 and the Treasurer of the European Mathematical Society from 2007 to 2014,[18] as well as the Treasurer of the European Set Theory Society [19] since 2012.
