Máté Szabó

Máté Szabó is research fellow in the project.
He works in the fields of history and philosophy of computing and mathematical logic. He is interested in the concept of computing from both philosophical and historical perspectives, and the interactions between logic and scientific computing.
Currently he is examining the early work of Max Newman and his impact on Alan Turing’s seminal paper on computability from 1936, as well as the history of elementary functions and its philosophical relevance for computer science.
Previously he published papers about philosophical arguments around the Church-Turing Thesis in a historical context, discussing the work of László Kalmár, Rózsa Péter and Emil Post. He also published on the history of computing in Eastern Europe.
