I am a senior graduate student in the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University, working towards a PhD in Logic, Computation and Methodology. My current research focuses on categorical logic, and its connections to algebraic geometry and model theory. I am currently applying for jobs, with the intention of graduating in Summer 2013.

In Fall 2012 I am teaching a course in Category Theory. You can find the webpage here.
