Biography

Awodey studied mathematics and philosophy at the University of Marburg and the University of Chicago. He earned his Ph.D. from Chicago under Saunders Mac Lane in 1997. He is an active researcher in the areas of category theory and logic, and has also written on the philosophy of mathematics. He is one of the originators of the field of homotopy type theory.[http://www.loria.fr/~lamarche/listPart.html Preliminary list of PSSL86 participants] He was a member of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in 2012–13.{{Cite web |url=http://www.ias.edu/people/cos/users/awodey |title=Institute for Advanced Study: A Community of Scholars |access-date=2015-01-10 |archive-date=2015-11-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151125095126/https://www.ias.edu/people/cos/users/awodey }}
