Research



I enjoy working in the areas of mathematical logic, category theory, and their applications to theoretical computer science. My research interests include programming languages for quantum computing, categorical quantum mechanics, quantum circuit theory, and unitary approximation.

Free Open-Access Journals

In my opinion, the dominant academic publishers like Springer and Elsevier are leeches on the research community. They take our work (authors, editors, referees) without payment, add nothing of value, then charge our libraries exorbitant amounts to license the same content back to them. Fortunately, there is a growing number of better alternatives. All of the following journals are community run, free (for authors as well as readers), and open-access. All of them have editorial boards composed of first-rate researchers.
