## my position

Presently I am visiting professsor at the Eduard Čech Institute for Algebra, Geometry and Physics in Prague, in Prof. Vladimír Souček‘s group

I have my PhD in theoretical physics but have worked in math departments ever since. Have been a postdoc in maths and mathematical physics for four years at Hamburg University. Had then a few months of guest researcher position at HIM and then at MPI in Bonn. From 2009 to 2014 I had a postdoc position in Prof. Ieke Moerdijk’s group, first in Utrecht and then the group moved to Nijmegen in 2012. The end of 2014 I was a guest researcher at Paris-Diderot visiting Gabriel Catren’s group in a program on homotopy type theory and the foundations of physics.

## my research

My research is about mathematical theory building in theoretical fundamental physics. With Hisham Sati we have edited a survey book that should give a good sense of modern insights into the general abstract structure of the world:

Concretely the questions that I am thinking about myself are laid out a bit in my

This is the kind of stuff that I am working on.

## teaching

This spring I am teaching a seminar on

A list of notes prepared with seminars that I taught in the past is at this link:

## $n$Lab

I like to put information into context. For that purpose I had started the

in November 2008. It has now more than 11,000 pages (some very short, but some very long). In May 2015 the $n$Lab installation migrated from a server paid out of my pocket to a server hosted at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, funded by Steve Awodey’s MURI grant for homotopy type theory research.
