About me

I'm a Computer Science PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, working with Joe Wells and Fairouz Kamareddine as part of the ULTRA research group. I also regularly help with the Foundations 1 course (a course about the λ-calculus), and at the University's Maths Gym, which was set up to help all students with their mathematics-related questions. Before that, I graduated from Heriot-Watt University with a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science (from September 2018 to June 2022). I'm originally from Ljubljana, Slovenia, where I lived until moving to Scotland for my studies. In my spare time I enjoy singing, volleyball, video games, and movies.

Research work

My research focuses on unambiguous representations of the language of mathematics. Currently, I'm working on fitting several existing pieces of software together to make encoding the semantics of mathematical formulas in LaTeX into the formulas themselves easier.
