A. da Costa.Research ProfileMade substantial contributions to the proof theory and semantics for contemporary heterodox (non-classical) logics. Of special significance are his contributions to many valued logics, paraconsistent logics and combination of logics.With his students and collaborators Carnielli introduced the possible-translations semantics, which led to a revival in the semantic interpretation of paraconsistent logics, and the concept of logics of formal inconsistency which systematize a great number of extant paraconsistent logics, opening the way to applications of paraconsistency to computer science and to philosophical investigations around the topic. Carnielli has also worked on finite and infinite combinatorics, and shaped, with collaborators, the modulated logics, a wide class of logics dedicated to formalize quantified uncertain reasoning, with philosophical implications. Current work by Carnielli also includes the role of non-classical logics in the theory of classical computation, with consequences for quantum computation.

Second edition. Wadsworth/Thomson Learning, Belmont, CA, 2000)Update on Possible-Translations Semantics The possible translations semantics are widely recognized as genuinely new tools for providing semantics for non-classcal logics, playing a relavant role in contemporary logic, as recognozed e.g. in [VV07] and in the work of A. Avron and his collaborators (cf. for instance [AA05] and [AK05]).The possible translations semantics, as well as its specialization, the society semantics, are explicitly recognized in [CMSS09] and [MS07] as the inspiration for a new approach to quantum logic (the so-called "`exogenous approach"'), Possible -translations semantics also inspired a new semantics associated to modal operators related to investigations in the Aristotle’s square of opposition, cf. [LSD08]. A search for "possible-translations semantics" in the Internet brings about 10.000 citations, and a book in the topic has been invited by Birkhäuser in Basel, Switzerland.
