In the 1930s, using mathematical automata, Turing investigated whether the truth of mathematical propositionscould be determined by algorithmic procedures; since then,studies of formalized computers and formalized mathematicalsystems have continued to complement and enrich one another. <p>Professor Lewis has worked extensively on the algorithmicsolvability of logical, computational, and combinatorialsystems, attempting to clarify the relations between themand to identify their common characteristics. For example,he has applied automata theory to the classical predicate calculus and to circuit models for parallel computers.<p>Currently he is working on practical formal methods for design verification of asynchronous systems, such asboolean circuits and signalling protocols. Timing characteristicsof such systems are notoriously difficult to validate underrealistic models of their behavior, andmost practical computer-aided design tools rely on inexhaustivesimulation rather than complete verification. Professor Lewishas developed both a theoretical logical framework for the timing specification of asynchronous systems, and software that uses this specification languageto verify the functionality of asynchronous boolean circuitswhose components have specified minimum and maximum time delays.<p>Professor Lewis is actively involved in the use of computers in education,and his books have had a significant influence onthe teaching of the foundations of computer science to undergraduates.<hr><ul><li>H.
