Adele Lee Padgett

Adele Lee Padgett is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Vienna, working under Matthias Aschenbrenner at the Kurt Gödel Research Center (Room 07.43). She completed her PhD at UC Berkeley in May 2022 under Tom Scanlon's supervision.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Mathematics, UC Berkeley, 2022

Dr. Padgett's research centers on mathematical logic, specializing in model theory, o-minimality, and transseries. Her doctoral dissertation constructed a differential field of sublogarithmic-transexponential series, establishing foundational work in asymptotic differential algebra. Current research extends these frameworks to explore connections between o-minimal structures and transseries expansions, with implications for non-archimedean geometry and tame topology.

She actively teaches advanced mathematics courses including Introduction to Mathematical Logic (250064/250135) and Research Seminars in Model Theory (510010) across multiple semesters (2024W, 2025W, 2025S), supervising doctoral candidates in the mathematics program.
