I am a doctoral student of Robert Harper at Carnegie Mellon University studying type theory, programming languages and semantics. Previously I received a B.A. in Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley. My other interests include category theory, topos theory, formalization of mathematics, Assyriology, and ancient languages and literature. Check out my new research blog! Access my curriculum vitae
I study the syntax and semantics of type theory and programming languages through the lens of categorical algebra and topos theory, with an aim toward building better interactive proof assistants. I am interested in the design and metatheory of program module calculi as in ML family languages.
My colleagues and I have developed the redtt and cooltt proof assistants for Cartesian cubical type theory.
