Ryan Carpenter
I am a graduate student pursuing a PhD degree in mathematics and an MA degree in philosophy at The University of Illinois at Chicago.
My research interests include mathematical and philosophical logic, primarily, with particular emphasis on model theory and its applications in math and philosophy. Prior to coming to Chicago, I completed my Bachelor's degree in mathematics and philosophy at The University of Pittsburgh, earning honors distinctions in both areas of study.
My CV (last updated March 2025) can be found here.
