Alfred Tarski

Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) is one of the most important figures in the history of logic. Born in Warsaw, he was a student of Leśniewski and Łukasiewicz and soon became a central member of the Lwów–Warsaw school of logic. He then moved to the USA and founded a major group of logic at the University of California, Berkeley. His contributions touch nearly all the areas of logic: set theory, model theory (he coined the expression and was the main developer of this field), many-valued logic, the theory of consequence operator (founder), the theory of truth (creator), Boolean algebra and other fields.

The 2018 Winner was:
Zalán Gyenis (Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland) for his paper: “On the modal logic of Jeffrey conditionalization”
