Leo Esakia (1934-2010)

Leo Esakia
The Fifth International Conference on Topology, Algebra and Categories in Logic is dedicated to the memory of the great Georgian logician Leo Esakia (1934-2010).
Leo was the founder of the logic school in Georgia. He made numerous important contributions to the study of algebraic and topological semantics of modal and intuitionistic logics. Several landmark theorems in the field bear his name. Leo also contributed immensely to establishing a strong research community working on algebraic, topological, and categorical methods in logic. In particular, he was one of the driving forces in establishing the TACL conference series.
