Academic career
Rini earned a bachelor's degree at Smith College.[2] She graduated with a PhD on modal logic from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1997, with the thesis Modal Propositions in Aristotle's Syllogistic supervised by Gareth Matthews.[3]
She moved to New Zealand in 1993 to Victoria University of Wellington, and in 1999 took a lecturing position at Massey University.[4] She was promoted to full professor in 2018, with effect from 1 January 2019.[5]
Rini has received four Marsden grants, including a grant to study the significance of the work of New Zealand philosopher Arthur Prior, who invented tense (or temporal) logic, and has been described as "laying the path to AI".[6][7][8] In 2010 she was awarded a Foreign Fellowship at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts, to study the development of Quine's attitude to modal logic.[5]
