Bio

Some recent articles and information:

My tribute to Ted Codd that I gave when I won the 2004 SIGMOD Edgar F. Codd Innovations Award

My tribute to my thesis advisor Robert L. Vaught that I gave at his Memorial Service in Berkeley, June 2, 2002

In addition to Robert Vaught, I would like to honor two other great teachers of mathematical logic, who inspired me deeply: Donald Kreider at Dartmouth College, who passed away Dec. 7, 2006, and Herbert Enderton at UC Berkeley, who passed away Oct. 20, 2010. Please see the Acknowledgements of my Ph.D. thesis, where I remark on their profound influences on my career.
