John R. Steel
John Robert Steel (born October 30, 1948) is an American set theorist at University of California, Berkeley (formerly at UCLA). He has made many contributions to the theory of inner models and determinacy. With Donald A. Martin, he proved projective determinacy, assuming the existence of sufficient large cardinals. He earned his Ph.D. in Logic & the Methodology of Science at Berkeley in 1977 under the joint supervision of John West Addison Jr. and Stephen G. Simpson. Awards In 1988, the Association for Symbolic Logic awarded him, Donald A. Martin and W. Hugh Woodin the Karp Prize for their work on the consistency of determinacy relative to large cardinals. In 2015, the European Set Theory Society awarded him and Ronald Jensen the Hausdorff Medal for their paper "K without the measurable". In 2012, Steel held the Gödel Lecture The Gödel Lecture is an honor in mathematical logic given by the Association for Symbolic Logic, associated with an annual lecture at the associa ...

Hausdorff Medal
The Hausdorff medal is a mathematical prize awarded every two years by the European Set Theory Society. The award recognises the work considered to have had the most impact within set theory among all articles published in the previous five years. The award is named after the German mathematician Felix Hausdorff (1868–1942). Winners *2013: Hugh Woodin for his articles "Suitable extender models I" ('' J. Math. Log.'' 10 (2010), no. 1–2, pp. 101–339) and "Suitable extender models II: beyond ''ω''-huge" (''J. Math. Log.'' 11 (2011), no. 2, pp. 115–436). *2015: Ronald Jensen and John R. Steel for their article " without the measurable" (''The Journal of Symbolic Logic'', Volume 78, Issue 3 (2013), pp. 708–734). *2017: Maryanthe Malliaris and Saharon Shelah for their article "General topology meets model theory, on 𝔭 and 𝔱" ('' Proc.
