editHyland 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
editMartin 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]
