Andrew Hagy
Hi! My name is Andrew, and my research interests are mathematical logic and philosophy (of mathematics). I’ve recently been researching finite model theory with hopes of making progress on a finite preservation theorem that holds in intuitionistic logic. I work closely with Dr. Scott Weinstein, director of Penn’s interdisciplinary Logic and Computation Group.
My previous experience at Penn was with Dr. Hermann Pfefferkorn’s paleobotany lab, describing Incertae sedis taxa of Mississippian period flora swept into present-day Peru. I also briefly worked with Dr. Doug Jerolmack on a NASA funded trip to White Sands National Park, which aimed at improving robot-aided exploration of planetary environments.
While not at Penn, I work as an apprentice funeral director in greater Philadelphia, and more recently, funeral home operations and consulting. I feel committed to helping families find closure by serving those who can no longer speak for themselves. I am enrolled as a part-time student at American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service, where I am pursuing my licensure. I also help facilitate a student-run grief support group on Penn's campus.
Feel free to reach out, I would love to answer any questions you may have, or just to chat!
