(John) Martin Elliott Hyland is professor of mathematical logic at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of King's College, Cambridge. His interests include mathematical logic, category theory, and theoretical computer science.[5]

Education

Hyland was educated at the University of Oxford where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1975[6] for research supervised by Robin Gandy.[2]

Research and career

Martin Hyland is best known for his work on category theory applied to logic (proof theory, recursion theory), theoretical computer science (lambda-calculus and semantics) and higher-dimensional algebra.[1] In particular he is known for work on the effective topos (within topos theory) and on game semantics. His former doctoral students include Eugenia Cheng[3][7] and Valeria de Paiva.[2][4]
