Dr. Cenzer earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1972
and has been Professor of Mathematics at the University of Florida
since 1987.  He has held visiting positions at the Mathematical
Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, at the University of
California--San Diego, the University of North Texas, the
University of Michigan, and most recently as a Visiting Fellow at the Newton
Institute during 2012.  Cenzer has published  90 articles in
his specialty of mathematical logic and computability theory,
including two articles in the "Handbook of Recursive Mathematics" and
an article in the "Handbook of Computability". His book, "Effectively Closed Sets",
has a current draft of over 300 pages. He is an editor for
the journal "Archive for Mathematical Logic and is past chair of the
Membership Committee for the Association for Symbolic Logic and also
of the UF Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Cenzer has organized numerous
conferences, including 5 special sessions of American Mathematical
Society meetings, 4 conferences of Computability and Complexity in
Analysis (CCA), 2 conferences of the Association for Computability in
Europe (CiE), and 8 Southeastern Logic Symposia (SEALS). He has edited
3 journal special issues resulting from these conferences. Cenzer has
recently worked on algorithmic randomness and hosted the UF Summer School in
Algorithmic Randomness in June 2008 as well as the Special Year in
Logic at the University of Florida in 2006-07.  He has directed 8
Ph.D. students.
