Linus Richter

I completed my PhD at Victoria University of Wellington advised by Dan Turetsky. My main research interests are in mathematical logic, particularly computability theory and set theory. I currently work on applications of algorithmic randomness to fractal geometry, reverse mathematics, and the theory of forcing.

From June onwards I will be a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore.

Before coming to New Zealand, I received a Master's degree from the University of Manchester (UK) in 2018; my master's project was supervised by Gareth Jones.
