I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham.

I am looking for PhD students. Please get in touch if you are interested in working with me.


Research

My mathematical and computer science interests include:

Until July 2023 I was a Senior Research Associate at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, working with Sam Staton. From October 2017 to September 2021 I was a Junior Research Fellow at University College, Oxford. Previously I was a PhD student of Martin Hyland at the University of Cambridge.

I also work with Philipp Koralus at the Faculty of Philosophy, Oxford, on a content-based theory of human cognitive capacity for reasoning and decision-making. One idea is to make precise the hypothesis that resolving questions is central to how the mind works. The book Reason and Inquiry is out now.

In March 2022 I gave a talk at the online Workshop on Polynomial Functors.
