- <p> Hello again. I'm JJ, but you may know me by apropos or omentic (among other names). </p>
- <p> I'm passionate about <a href="https://www.pluggabletransports.info/">decentralized and resilient systems</a>, <a href="https://maplebacon.org/">computer security</a>, <a href="https://linguistics.ubc.ca/">linguistics</a>, and <a href="https://www.math.ubc.ca/">general mathematics</a>. I'm also broadly interested in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language_theory">programming language theory</a>, and have grown particularly interested in <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/type+theory">type theory</a>: finding it to be a nice intersection between a good number of my interests. In my spare time, I enjoy ice skating, playing ultimate frisbee, folding origami, capturing flags, reading books, and (occasionally) rock climbing. </p>

+ <h2> Research </h2>
+ <p>
+ I am particularly interested in <i>language</i> and its relation to <i>meaning</i>.<br>
+ This manifests itself in different fashions in different fields.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ In linguistics: I'm interested in the <b>syntax-semantics interface</b>: in more philosophical terms, how <i>sense</i> informs <i>denotation</i>, and how <i>denotation</i> informs <i>sense</i>. I am particularly interested in this with respect to types and their connection to intuitionistic logic via <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry–Howard_correspondence">Curry-Howard</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In computer science: I care about <b>language interoperability</b>: the preservation of meaning across languages with differing types systems, operational semantics, and conventions.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In mathematics: I have a particular interest in <b>foundations</b> and <b>category theory</b>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p> I am actively looking for a research position on this topic, starting Sep. 2025. If you know a professor who is hiring students and working on any of the above, please send me an email! </p>
