Dr. Benedikt Löwe is a Professor at the University of Hamburg since 2009, holding the CIPSH Chair 'Diversity of Mathematical Research Cultures & Practices'. He maintains affiliations with the Universiteit van Amsterdam (2003–2023) and the University of Cambridge (since 2012). His roles include research group leadership at Hamburg, editorial leadership at 'Mathematical Logic Quarterly', and governance positions in international academic organizations.
- Education: Master's in Mathematics (Tübingen, 1996), PhD in Mathematics (Berlin, 2001), Habilitation (Bonn, 2004), M.A. and Sc.D. from Cambridge
His research bridges mathematical logic with philosophy, narratology, AI, and social sciences, with a focus on foundational questions and interdisciplinary modeling. His work has pioneered algebra-valued set theory, modal logic of forcing, and empirical approaches to modeling mathematical practices.
Key contributions include the concept of 'quasigenerics' in set theory, the development of paraconsistent algebra-valued models, and the application of logic to folktale morphology. He has edited multiple journals and served on editorial boards, including as Managing Editor of 'Mathematical Logic Quarterly' (2011–2022).
Scientific Awards:
- Fellow of the International Science Council (2023)
- Ordinary member of the Hamburg Academy of Sciences (2023)
- Simons Foundation Research Fellowship (2015)
- Felix-Hausdorff-Gedächtnispreis (2001)
As a leader in academic governance, he has chaired the Deutsche Vereinigung für Mathematische Logik (DVMLG) and served as Secretary General of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology's logic division (DLMPST/IUHPST).
