Ali Nosherwan’s area of research is mathematical logic. His master’s thesis dealt with inquisitive logic, which uniformly extends classical logic so that it covers not just statements but also questions. Ali’s other research interests include foundations of mathematics, set theory, philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of logic. He is now working on applications of logic in theoretical computer science, in particular for verifying concurrent systems.
