Michael C. Laskowski

Michael C. Laskowski is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. His office is located in Room 3312 of the Mathematics Building with contact information including phone (301) 405-5336 and email mcl@math.umd.edu. For Fall 2025, he teaches Math 712 (Mathematical Logic I) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30-1:45 PM, with office hours on Tuesdays from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

His research focuses on model theory with significant contributions across multiple subfields:

• Classification theory (uncountable spectra, Karp complexity, Schröder-Bernstein property)
• Atomic models of countable theories
• Borel complexity of first-order theories
• Monadic expansions and NIP theories
• Mutually algebraic structures
• Hrushovski and Fraisse constructions

Laskowski's recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate continued innovation in model theory, particularly in monadic NIP characterizations, Borel completeness, and atomic model theory. His work bridges foundational mathematical logic with applications in combinatorics and computer science. His research program has received continuous NSF funding through grants DMS-9403701 to 2154101, spanning over 30 years of sustained scholarly contribution.

His collaborative network includes prominent researchers like Saharon Shelah, John Baldwin, and Simon Thomas. While the webpage doesn't list specific students, his numerous collaborations suggest extensive mentorship of graduate students throughout his career.
