Interests
My research is on the topic of higher category theory; in particular, the foundations of the proof assistant homotopy.io. I am also interested in higher category theory as an arena for formal category theory, and how this enables diagrammatic methods. For example, my master's thesis was about using the 2-category Prof to analyse traced monoidal categories with string diagrams as an instance of the microcosm principle. Broadly speaking, I am generally interested in category theory applied to theoretical computer science.
Biography
I did my undergraduate degree in Computer Science, followed by a MSc in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science, both at St Catherine's College, Oxford. I am currently studying towards a DPhil in Computer Science at Balliol College. I also hold a college lectureship at St Catherine's to teach Algorithms and Data Structures.
