SHORT BIO:
(taken from the University of Helsinki)
Nick Bezhanishvili obtained his PhD in 2006 from the ILLC (Institute for Logic, Language and Computation), University of Amsterdam, under the supervision of Professors Dick de Jongh and Yde Venema. He held postdoctoral positions at the University of Leicester (2006–2008), Imperial College London (2008–2012), and Utrecht University (2012–2013). Since 2014, Nick holds an Assistant Professorship at the ILLC. He has more than 70 publications in the top journals, refereed conference proceedings, and book chapters in his area of research, which is centered on applications of algebraic and topological methods in the study of non-classical logics (such as modal and intuitionistic logics). An important feature of this work is the theory of Stone-like dualities, which gives rise to topological and geometric semantics for intuitionistic and modal logics.
