Jason Rute received his doctorate in 2013 from Carnegie Mellon University, under the supervision of Jeremy Avigad. After a short stint at the University of Hawaii, he assumed a postdoctoral position at Penn State University. His work involves connections between computable mathematical structure and classical mathematical structure, including algorithmic randomness, reverse mathematics, effective mathematics, quantitative analysis, and metastability.
