Yiannis N. Moschovakis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yiannis N. Moschovakis (born 1938) is a set theorist, descriptive set theorist, and recursion (computability) theorist, at UCLA. For many years he has split his time between UCLA and University of Athens (he retired from the latter in July, 2005). His book Descriptive Set Theory (North-Holland) is the indispensable reference text for the subject. He is especially associated with the development of the effective, or lightface, version of descriptive set theory.
Moschovakis earned his Ph.D. from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1963 under the direction of Stephen Kleene, with a dissertation entitled Recursive Analysis.
