Biography

I am interested in type theory and its homotopical interpretations.

Selected Talks

Differential geometry in synthetic algebraic geometry

We present a few proofs in synthetic algebraic geometry, related to smoothness for affine schemes.

Cubical models are cofreely parametric

We give a solid theoretical grounding to the observation that cubical structures arise naturally when working with parametricity. More precisely, we claim that cubical models are cofreely parametric.

Parametricity and cubes

We report on our investigations linking parametricity and cubical structures. Our slogan is that cubical models of type theory are cofreely parametric.

Parametricity and semi-cubical types

We construct a model of type theory enjoying parametricity from an arbitrary one. A type in the new model is a semi-cubical type in the old one, illustrating the correspondence between parametricity and cubes.

Toward a cubical type theory univalent by definition

We report on our progress in the construction of a variant of cubical type theory where univalence holds by definition.

Monoids up to coherent homotopy in two-level type theory

We formalize monoids up to coherent homotopy in Agda, using two level type theory.

Finitary higher inductive types in the groupoid model

We present a schema for finitary higher inductive types with constructors for paths and surfaces only. This schema is supported by the groupoid model.
