Interest
Category theory and related (various) topics!
Recently, I have been interested in how topos theory facilitates the exchange of ideas and intuitions between algebra, geometry, logic, computation, and combinatorics.
I am also interested in coalgebras, (pro)finite combinatorics, combinatorial game theory, semiring theory, algebraic language theory, and pure category theory.
