About me

I am a postdoc at the University of Nottingham in the Functional Programming Lab working on homotopy type theory under the supervision of Nicolai Kraus.

Before that, I obtained a double bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at Utrecht University in 2015, and completed a research master in Mathematics at the same university in 2018.
My master's thesis was on the realizability topos of Scott's graph model and was supervised by Jaap van Oosten.

• Together with Albert Visser and Benno van den Berg I organise the Heyting Day on 14 March 2025 which will be held in honour of Jaap van Oosten.
• I am on the programme committee for ITP 2025.
• I am on the programme committee for TYPES 2025.
• I am on the organising committee for the HoTT/UF workshops in 2024 and 2025.
• I am on the programme committee for Certified Proofs and Programs (CPP) 2025.
• I joined the TYPES steering committee in June 2024.

• Our paper Epimorphisms and Acyclic Types in Univalent Foundations was accepted for publication in The Journal of Symbolic Logic.
• I am excited to be giving a course on Categorical Realizability at ESSLLI in July/August 2025.
• I wrote an expository note on formalizing equivalences. I also gave a recorded talk about this at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics.
