About me

I am a PhD student, since October 2024, at the LIPN laboratory in the LoCal team. I am supervised by Marie Kerjean and Stefano Guerrini.
I am interested in the links between logical and mathematical structures through the Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondance. My favorite subject is categorical semantics of logic. I find it very beautiful when logical systems are able to describe complex and non discrete mathematical object, the most famous example being Homotopy type theory and my favorite one being convenient vector spaces as models of DiLL. My research focuses on the links between categorical models of DiLL (Differential Linear Logic) and (dependent) type theory.
More broadly, I like (in no particular order): Type Theory, Categorical Logic, Differential Linear Logic, Topology, Proof Theory, Category Theory, Homotopy Theory, Choice axioms, Realizabilty, Functional Analysis and Differential Geometry.

Abstract
We give a more functorial presentation of categorical models of differential linear logic as a linear-non-linear adjunction equipped with a linear tangent functor. This work is in the spirit of the the work of Kerjean, Maestracci and Rogger on a functorial characterization of categorical models of DiLL. Our approach is inspired by categorical semantics of type theory : given any linear-non-linear adjunction we construct a category called the linear-non-linear simple category which is the linear-non-linear equivalent of the simple slice category and is a fibration above the cartesian category. This category plays a crucial role in our axiomatisation and is the logical counter-part of the trivial vector bundle category. This adds to the already present intuition that linear logic should be the logical counter part of (trivial) vector bundle.
