Things about me

I'm a French researcher in mathematics, currrently working in Steve Awodey's group in Carnegie Mellon University.

I'm a geometer with various interests:

• ∞-category theory, the set theory of the XXI Century;
• algebraic geometry, the study of spaces by means of algebras of functions;
• ∞-topos theory, the algebraic geometry of functions with values in ∞-groupoids;
• categorical logic and its relationships to topology and geometry;
• symplectic geometry and its use in the mathematization of physics;
• philosophical reflections on mathematics.
