I am about to conclude my PhD in category theory at the School of Mathematics of the University of Leeds, UK, under the supervision of Nicola Gambino. I visited the University of Genova, Italy, from August 2023 to October 2023. Before, I visited the University of Manchester, UK, from September 2022 to August 2023.
I am about to conclude my PhD in category theory at the School of Mathematics of the University of Leeds, UK, under the supervision of Nicola Gambino.

My main research interests are category theory and its applications to logic, geometry and computer science. More precisely, I have a keen interest in fibrations and the Grothendieck construction, 2-category theory, enriched category theory and 2-categorical elementary topoi.

During my PhD, I have been working on 2-classifiers, that are a 2-categorical generalization of subobject classifiers and can be thought of as Grothendieck constructions inside a 2-category. I proved that 2-categorical Grothendieck topoi have a 2-classifier. This also involved reducing the conditions of a 2-classifier to dense generators, studying colimits in 2-dimensional slices, an indexed Grothendieck construction and an essential conicalization of weighted 2-limits.
My PhD thesis contributes to expand 2-dimensional elementary topos theory. In particular, I present a novel technique of reduction of the study of 2-classifiers to dense generators. I then apply it to generalize to dimension 2 the fundamental result that Grothendieck topoi are elementary topoi. In order to reach my main theorems, I produced an original calculus of colimits in 2-dimensional slices and an indexed version of the Grothendieck construction.

I am very passionate about research and I am a positive person who always smiles. I value love, truth and communication. In my free time, I like travelling as well as creating and playing board games.
