Lauri Hella, Ph.D., Professor


Research

My research area is Finite Model Theory; I am especially interested in definability issues for generalized quantifiers on finite structures, and the role of generalized quantifiers in descriptive complexity theory.

Here is a link to a list of finite model theory people.

Currently I am leading a research group working on finite model theory. The group is joint with the Department of Mathematcis of the University of Helsinki, where it originally started as a part of the Helsinki logic group. We have a joint research seminar on finite model theory, and our group is one of the participants of the MALJA graduate school in mathematical logic and algebra.


Teaching

In the autumn 2009, I am teaching the course Modaalilogiikan jatkokurssi.
