William Hugh Woodin (b. April 23, 1955, Tucson, Arizona) is a set theorist at University of California, Berkeley. He has made many notable contributions to the theory of inner models and determinacy. His recent work on Ω-logic suggests an argument that the continuum hypothesis is false.
He earned his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 1984 under Robert M. Solovay. His dissertation title was Discontinuous Homomorphisms of C(Omega) and Set Theory.
He served as chair of the UC Berkeley mathematics department for the 2002-2003 academic year.
He is the great-grandson of William Hartman Woodin, former Secretary of the Treasury.
