Peter Henry George Aczel ( /ˈæksəl/; 31 October 1941 – 1 August 2023) was a British mathematician, logician and Emeritus joint Professor in the Department of Computer Science and the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester. [1] He is known for his work in non-well-founded set theory, [2] constructive set theory, [3] [4] and Frege structures. [5] [6]
Aczel completed his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in 1963 [7] followed by a DPhil at the University of Oxford in 1966 under the supervision of John Crossley. [1] [8]
After two years of visiting positions at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Rutgers University, Aczel took a position at the University of Manchester. He has also held visiting positions at the University of Oslo, California Institute of Technology, Utrecht University, Stanford University, and Indiana University Bloomington. [7] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 2012. [9]
Aczel was on the editorial board of the Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic [10] and the Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science, having previously served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Symbolic Logic and the Annals of Pure and Applied Logic. [7] [11]
He died on 1 August 2023. [12]
