Research interests and method

Academic and research

From philosophical questions to formal definitions: making concepts, assumptions, and arguments explicit.

The pathway

A closer look at the work.

Mathematical logic, philosophy of mathematics, and formal representation connect this pathway. The focus is on framing a question and making an argument open to scrutiny.

01

Logic and foundations

Representing structures, languages, and reasoning.

Read more

Model theory, proof theory, set theory, categories, and modal logic form the study areas. Definitions, examples, and counterexamples distinguish a proposal from what it actually establishes.

02

Philosophy and structures

Identifying what remains invariant.

Read more

The research direction considers structuralism, vocabulary changes, and theory translations. Assumptions and the meaning of equivalence must be explicit before comparing two representations.

03

Formal methods

Connecting mathematical writing with formalisation.

Read more

Isabelle/HOL is a working direction for inspecting syntax, transformations, and proof obligations. Preparatory code and a machine-verified result are distinct states: each result needs a reproducible build and a dedicated review.

04

Writing and sources

Following the reasoning, beyond the conclusion.

Read more

Manuscripts, bibliographies, and argument maps need to retain the connection between claims and sources. Open assumptions, revisions, and limits remain identifiable even when the document is already typeset.
