I am a second year PhD student under the supervision of Beniamino Accattoli (LIX Partout, INRIA) and Claudia Faggian (IRIF, CNRS).

You may find me at IRIF in office 3026, or sometimes in Saclay in the INRIA lab (Alan Turing building) in office 2056.

I work on proof theory and programming languages, using tools from one to extract knowledge to the other using the Curry-Howard correspondence. I focus on untyped lambda-calculus and its variants, investigating operational and denotational semantics. (see my thesis subject.)

Currently: I am actively working on program equivalences in call-by-value lambda-calculi.

What I wish to learn more of : (operational) game semantics, models of the lambda-calculus, Pi-calculus, realizability, fixed-points combinators, induction and coinduction, cyclic proofs …
