Career

[edit | edit source]

In 1974, Statman received his Ph.D. from Stanford University for his Ph.D. dissertation, supervised by Georg Kreisel, entitled Structural Complexity of Proofs.[1] His achievements include the proof that the type inhabitation problem in simply typed lambda calculus is PSPACE-complete,[2] lower bounds on simply typed lambda calculus,[3] logical relations,[4] and intersection types.[5] He was a co-author of the book Lambda Calculus with Types.[6]
