Areas of interest
- Interested in interplay between algebraic structures and their interpretations from different perspectives (e.g. combinatorial or topological), particularly in their category-theoretic and homotopical aspects
- Very fond of higher-dimensional rewriting, eager to find out more about its applications to other branches of mathematics, especially to algebra, e.g. in combinatorial group theory and in effective algebra
- Curious about higher category theory and interested in working in the domain from the combinatorial angle
- Increasingly enthusiastic about formalisation of mathematics using The Coq Proof Assistant
- Topics around my PhD thesis work: normalisations in monoids, Garside theory, Artin-Tits monoids and groups, Coxeter groups, plactic monoids, word problem, theory of collapsing schemes (aka discrete Morse theory), homology of monoids, geometric group theory
Publications
- Correspondence between factorability structure and quadratic normalisation in monoids
