Petr Hájek studied at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague[2] Influenced by Petr Vopěnka, he specialized in set theory, arithmetic, later also in logic and artificial intelligence.[3] He contributed to establishing the mathematical fundamentals of fuzzy logic.[3] Following the Velvet Revolution he was appointed a senior lecturer (1993), and a professor (1997).[2] From 1992 to 2000 he held the position of chairman of the Institute of Computer Science at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.[2] From 1996 to 2003 he was also president of the Kurt Gödel Society.[4]
