He served as Department Chair during 2013-2018. He has held visiting positions at the
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, at the
University of California–San Diego, the University of North Texas,
the University of Michigan, the Newton Institute–Cambridge University, and most recently at the Hausdorff Institute in Bonn during 2025. Cenzer is a
former chair of the Membership Committee for the Association for
Symbolic Logic and also past president of the UF Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
He is an associate editor for the journal “Archive for Mathematical
Logic”.  Cenzer has published more than 130 articles in his
specialty of mathematical logic, more specifically, computability,
complexity and randomness. These including two articles in the “Handbook of
Recursive Mathematics” and an article in the “Handbook of
Computability”. He has helped organized numerous conferences,
including 6 special sessions of American Mathematical Society
meetings, 4 conferences of Computability and Complexity in Analysis
(CCA), 3 conferences of the Association for Computability in
Europe (CiE), and 10 NSF-supported Southeastern Logic Symposia.
He has edited 3 journal special issues resulting from
these conferences. Cenzer hosted the Special Year in Logic at the
University of Florida in 2006-07 as well as the UF Summer School in
Algorithmic Randomness in June 2008, both supported by NSF.
He has directed 12 Ph.D. students.
