    The main research area Longo has been interested in concerns syntactic and semantic properties of the "logical base" of functional languages: Combinatory Logic, Lambda-calculus and their extensions. However, he always investigated these topics in its broadest setting which relates them to Recursion Theory, Proof Theory and Category Theory.

    In this perspective, Longo worked at some aspects of Recursion Theory, Higher Type Recursion Theory, Domain Theory and Category Theory as part of a unified mathematical framework for the theory and the design of functional languages. In a sense, Longo has always been mostly interested in the "interconnecting results" or "bridges" and applications among different areas and to language design. He also worked at the applications of functional approaches to Object Oriented programming.
    He is currently extending his interdisciplinary interests to Philosophy of Mathematicsand Theoretical Biology. The main project in these areas is an interdisciplinary initiative on Geometry and Cognition (started with the corresponding grant: "Géométrie et Cognition", 1999 - 2002), focusing on the geometry of physical and biological spaces. The developements of this project lead to a new initiative at DI-ENS, in 2002, the setting up of the research team "Complexité et information morphologiques" (CIM), centered on foundational problems in the interface between Mathematics, Physics and Biology. The main recent advances concern theoretical, mathematical and philosophical analyses in Biology (see downloadable publications).
