Biography

I am a Franco-American DPhil student working on compositional distributional models of natural language semantics, funded by an EPSRC Doctoral Training Account. From Michaelmas 2011 onwards, I will be the acting computer science tutor at Hertford College, where I hold a lectureship. I will be helping the college prepare for the first intake of students for Oxford's new computer science and philosophy course.

I principally collaborate with the following people:

On top of my research, I am currently working with Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh and Chris Heunen as an editor on the production of a book entitled "Categorical Information Flow in Physics and Linguistics" (working title) to be published by Oxford University Press (planned for release 2012).

Before coming to the department in 2008 to do the MSc which led to my DPhil, I did graduate work in the philosophy departments at the University of St Andrews in mathematical logic, the foundation of mathematics, and some philosophy of language. Prior to this, I obtained a BSc in Physics & Philosophy from the University of Sheffield.
