About
I am a doctoral candidate at Indiana University Bloomington, advised by Amr Sabry. I'm currently a visiting researcher at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, working with Marcelo Fiore and Neel Krishnaswami.
Research
I study type theories and programming languages, through the lens of category theory. I'm also interested in mathematical logic, constructive mathematics, and formalization.
