Kohei Kishida

I was a research associate at
the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Dalhousie University,
until August 2019.

I am currently an assistant professor at the Department of Philosophy,
and a member of the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology Center (IQUIST),
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

My primary interest is in
- Mathematical and Philosophical Logic; Category Theory;
- Foundations of Quantum Physics and Computer Science,
but I also have publications in venues in philosophy, computer science, physics, linguistics, mathematical psychology, etc. (see the Publications section below).
