My research interests include: semantic models
of computation,
especially domain-theoretic and topological models;
type theories and their models, especially type theories
for computational effects; logic and
proof theory in general, and proof systems for program logics
in particular; intuitionistic set theories, their models and
applications; constructive mathematics and its
computational content; foundational
models of probability and randomness.
