My name is Dominik and I am a PhD student at the Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science and the Programming Systems Lab.
I did my Bachelor's Thesis and a Research Immersion Lab on set theory formalised in Coq. I obtained my Master's degree from the University of Oxford with a thesis on intersection type systems and nominal automata. I recently finished a second Bachelor's degree in cultural studies with a thesis on foundations of mathematics hosted by the philosophy department.
I am broadly interested in computational logic and its connections to the foundations and philosophy of mathematics. Currently, I am working on mechanised first-order logic and categorical axiomatisations of second-order ZF.
