About

Welcome to my professional home page. (Non-professional parts of this website will be moved elsewhere soon.)

I am a PhD student in theoretical computer science at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest (Hungary), supervised by Ambrus Kaposi.

I am interested in type theory, constructive mathematics, realizability, and adjacent topics. I am supported by the HOTT ERC grant to work on designing the syntax of higher observational type theory and devising semantics for it. In a previous research experience, I worked on holonomic sequences.

Education

I studied at ENS Paris-Saclay, where I obtained a dual bachelor's degree in mathematics and theoretical computer science in 2022, then the Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science in 2024. I spent the year 2024-2025 as a research intern with Joël Ouaknine.
