Valeria Correa Vaz de Paiva is a Brazilian
logician, and computer scientist
.
Her work includes research on logical approaches to computation, especially using category theory,
knowledge representation and natural language semantics, and functional programming with a focus on foundations and type theories.[3][4][5]
Education
De Paiva earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1982,[3] a master's degree in 1984 (on pure algebra) and completed a doctorate at the University of Cambridge in 1988, under the supervision of Martin Hyland.[6][2] Her thesis introduced Dialectica spaces, a categorical way of constructing models of linear logic, based on Kurt Gödel's Dialectica interpretation.
Career and research
She worked for nine years at
Division for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science and Technology of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (2020–2023).[8]
