Biography
editEarly life (1958 – 1992)
editBagaria was born in 1958 in Manlleu, Catalonia, Spain.[1] He earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Barcelona in 1981, and an M.A. in philosophy there in 1984.[1] He earned his PhD in Logic & the Methodology of Science at the University of California, Berkeley in 1991 under the supervision of Haim Judah and W. Hugh Woodin.[1][2] He also held various other positions at UC Berkeley between January 1986 and May 1992, including as a reader, a graduate student instructor, a junior specialist, and a summer session instructor.[1]
Career (1992 – present)
editIn June 1992, Bagaria returned to Spain as an invited researcher at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, where he remained until that September.[1] From October 1992 to September 1995, he was an interim research professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.[1] He was an invited professor at Pompeu Fabra University from October 1995 to September 1996.[1] Then, he returned to the Autonomous University of Barcelona to again serve as an interim research professor, where he remained until October 2001.[1]
Since 2001, he has been ICREA Research Professor at University of Barcelona.[3] He served as the first president of the European Set Theory Society (2007–11).
His research work is widely cited,[4] and he has given talks to the general public.[5][6] He has had nine PhD students.[2]
Personal life
editHe is also an active Catalan independentist.[7]
