Agata Ciabattoni is an Italian mathematical logician specializing in non-classical logic. She is a full professor at the Institute of Logic and Computation of the Faculty of Informatics[1] at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), and a co-chair of the Vienna Center for Logic and Algorithms of TU Wien (VCLA).[2][3][4]

Education and career

edit

Ciabattoni is originally from Ripatransone. She studied computer science at the University of Bologna,[2] and completed her Ph.D. in 2000 at the University of Milan. Her dissertation, Proof-theory in many-valued logics, was supervised by Daniele Mundici.[5]

She moved to Vienna in 2000 with the support of an EU Marie Curie Fellowship, and In 2007, she earned her habilitation at TU Wien.[2] She remains affiliated with TU Wien, as a professor in the faculty of informatics.[6] She also serves as the Collegium Logicum lecture series chair for the Kurt Gödel Society.[7]

Contributions

edit

One of Ciabattoni's projects at TU Wien involves using mathematical logic to formalize the ethical reasoning in the Vedas, a body of Indian sacred texts.[8]

Recognition

edit

In 2011, Ciabattoni won the Start-Preis of the Austrian Science Fund, the only woman to win the prize that year.[2][9]
