Author Biography

Pedro Poitevin, Salem State University

He received a PhD in mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and he is currently Associate Professor of Mathematics at Salem State University. Specializing in mathematical logic and its applications to functional analysis, he proved that certain classes of Nakano spaces are axiomatizable in continuous logic for metric structures. He is also a translator, a bilingual poet, and a skillful writer of palindromes
