Research interests

In my research I develop computable foundations for geometry and higher algebra. My work studies diagrammatic calculi of stratified manifolds, their singularities and higher Morse structures, and how these structures relate to the combinatorics of higher categories.

More broadly, I like to think about foundations of mathematics, inference and knowledge representation.
