I am in the final year of my PhD at the Universiteit of Antwerpen under the supervision of Wendy Lowen and Arne Mertens. Have a look at CV (pdf) or my Research statement.
For my thesis I have developped a formal theory of toposes in some sufficiently nice 2-categories.
My research interests center around category theory and include topos theory, formal category theory as well as the links with logic and type theory. My long term goal is to apply toposes to physics and complex systems.

A priori bounds for rough differential equations with a non-linear damping term, joint work with Ajay Chandra, Augustin Moinat, and Hendrik Weber. Journal of Differential Equations, Vol. 318 p58-93, May 2022
Abstract: We consider a rough differential equation with a non-linear damping drift term: dY(t) = -|Y|^{m-1} Y(t) dt + σ(Y(t)) dX(t), where X is a branched rough path of arbitrary regularity α>0, m>1 and where σ is smooth and satisfies an m and α-dependent growth property. We show a strong a priori bound for Y, which includes the "coming down from infinity" property, i.e. the bound on Y(t) for a fixed t>0 holds uniformly over all choices of initial datum Y(0). The method of proof builds on recent work by Chandra, Moinat and Weber on a priori bounds for the φ^4 SPDE in arbitrary subcritical dimension. A key new ingredient is an extension of the algebraic framework which permits to derive an estimate on higher order conditions of a coherent controlled rough path in terms of the regularity condition at lowest level.
