Sara Negri

Sara Negri is a Professor of Mathematical Logic at the University of Genoa, Italy, and previously held the Chair in Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki (2015–2020). She has held academic positions including Senior Researcher at the University of Helsinki's Department of Philosophy and Academy Research Fellow (2002–2012). Her research focuses on proof theory, modal and non-classical logics, epistemic logic, and formal epistemology. She has authored influential works such as Structural Proof Theory (2001) and Proof Analysis (2011) with Jan von Plato.

Education: Ph.D. in Mathematical Logic from the University of Padova (1996). She has also been a Humboldt Fellow at the University of Munich and a visiting scholar at the Mittag-Leffler Institute and Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics. Her research has been supported by grants including the Academy of Finland's 'Modalities and Conditionals' project (2017–2021) and leadership roles in the EUTYPES COST Action.

Her awards include the Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship (2004) and Academy Research Fellowships (2002–2012). She has supervised five doctoral dissertations and is active in academic leadership roles, including membership on the Scandinavian Logic Society's executive committee and the Italian Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science's governing board.

Her work bridges proof theory with applications in formal epistemology, non-classical logics, and the foundations of mathematics. Recent research emphasizes counterfactual reasoning, topological semantics, and epistemic dynamics, with contributions to the logical analysis of belief, knowledge, and modal systems.
