معرفی
Tibor Beke is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), part of the Kennedy College of Sciences. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from MIT (1998) and a BA from Princeton University (1993). His research focuses on algebraic topology, model theory, image processing, homotopical algebra, and categorical logic, with notable contributions to areas like topos theory, combinatorial structures over finite fields, and computational topology.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, MIT, 1998
- BA in Mathematics, Princeton University, 1993
Research Interests: Beke’s work bridges algebraic topology with logic and category theory. He explores topics such as the Grothendieck ring of varieties, Shelah’s singular compactness theorem, and applications of categorical logic to model theory. His recent projects include microstructural quantification of polymer matrix composites and virtual reconstruction techniques in materials science.
Publications & Grants: He has published widely in journals like Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra and Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. Key grants include NSF funding for microstructural research (2018–2020) and a John Templeton Foundation grant on geometric proofs and AI (2016–2019). His work often involves collaborations, such as with Jiří Rosický on accessible categories and abstract elementary classes.
Awards:
- Fulbright Scholar (2013)
- Fulbright Scholarship for Teaching and Research (2016, Masaryk University)
- UML Faculty Teaching Awards (2012, 2007)
- Rackham Faculty Fellowships (University of Michigan, 2002–2001)
Teaching: Currently teaches courses such as Number Theory and Mathematical Problem Solving at UML.
