Mirja Hartimo (Ph.D, Docent) graduated from Boston University in 2005 with a dissertation entitled "Edmund Husserl’s Phenomenology and the Development of Mathematics in the Late Nineteenth Century" (Boston University, 2005). Currently she works as a post doctoral researcher funded by the Academy of Finland, at the University of Helsinki, Finland. She has published articles especially on Husserl and mathematics in journals such as Synthese, Journal of History and Philosophy of Logic, and Southern Journal of Philosophy.

From the reviews: "Phenomenology and Mathematics is a serious attempt to show phenomenology at work as philosophy of mathematics, and it is remarkably successful in giving an overview of what is going on at the moment in research on Husserl. It surely will serve as a very useful point of departure for many further analyses." (Stefania Centrone, Philosophia Mathematica, Vol. 22 (1), February, 2014) "The volume Phenomenology and Mathematics contains nine articles based on the presentations given at the 2007 conference of the same name in Tampere, Finland. ... the quality of the individual articles is very high as they present mostly mature positions. Hence, it is certainly a good volume and an important contribution to the trend of growing interest in Husserl's (early) work on the philosophy of logic and mathematics and their relation to phenomenology."--- (Carlo Ierna, History and Philosophy of Logic, Vol. 32, November, 2011)
