My name is Noah Hughes and I am an Assistant Professor of mathematics at Winston-Salem State University. You can download a pdf copy of my cv here and reach me by email at: hughesna[at]wssu[dot]edu
I work in mathematical logic and more specifically computability theory. A nice intuivitve description of mathematical logic (credit to Paul Shafer) is that it is the "mathematics of mathematics" in much the way calculus is the mathematics of change and geometry is the mathematics of shape. Using appropriate formilizations we take the theorems, constructions, and arguments in mathematics as our objects of study. I am particularly interested in understanding the foundational connections between mathemtical principles and the fundamental ingredients needed to prove them. Computability theory provides the robust framework needed to carry out this analysis.
I am originally from Linville, North Carolina, a rural town in the Appalachian Mountains. Here I developed a love of the outdoors, but outside of that I love good books, playing the drums, and learning about nearly anything.
