W. Hugh Woodin is a prominent mathematician known for his work in set theory, particularly in areas related to large cardinals, determinacy, and the foundations of mathematics. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of the continuum hypothesis and the nature of infinite sets. Woodin is particularly noted for introducing the concept of "Woodin cardinals," which are a type of large cardinal that have significant implications in set theory and the study of the foundations of mathematics.
