Dr. Andrew Lewis earned his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1993 from the University of California at Berkeley -- his dissertation used forcing to prove the existence, under certain conditions, of a measurable dilator, and a small amount of determinacy to prove the existence of small models of ZFC and countably many measurable cardinals. Two papers authored jointly with Joel Hamkins and published in the early 2000's established the concept of Infinite Time Turing Machines and extended many results of standard recursion theory.
