I am a pure mathematician by training with interests in theoretical linguistics, pure mathematics, and Ethics in Mathematics. Supported by my supervisor Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science working on mathematical linguistics in the Natural Language and Information Processing theme. Please see my website at the Cambridge Language Sciences directory for information on my linguistic interests.

Research

Mathematics. My mathematical interests seem to be like Swiss cheese: The measure decreases over time but they remain spread rather broadly. Wherever I can find some conceptual understanding, I am intrigued. Some areas I especially like are geometric function theory, commutative algebra, and basically all of logic.

With Dierk Schleicher I am working on parabolic bifurcations in holomorpic dynamics.

I have a project with Anders Hansen on computability of multi-valued functions with implications to AI safety.

Ethics in Mathematics. Another broad topic that interests me greatly is how sociocultural context influences people's behaviour. The ways mathematics is viewed in different strata of society are shaped by how mathematics is taught and lived by mathematicians, and these views in turn shape how mathematics applies to the real world. A better understanding of this could greatly benefit the development of mathematical technology. Check out the Ethics in Mathematics Project.

One topic in this area is the philosophical and legal impact of mathematical technology on decision-making procedures, which I am investigating with my coauthors Agnijo Banerjee, Maurice Chiodo, Jean-Luc Weatherall, and Zoya Yasmine.
