Hi there, my name is Sanjiv and welcome to my academic webpage! A bit about me...

I am a PhD student in Category Theory at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, under the supervision of Professor Marcelo Fiore. My broad research interests are in Categorical Logic and Categorical Algebra.

More specifically, I am currently working on category theoretic models of substructural theories — such as Lawvere theories and symmetric operads — as substitution algebras and substitution monoids, generalisations of species of structure, and abstract syntax of binding and second-order theories. I often make use of aspects of symmetric monoidal- and 2-category theory. I also work on internal category theory in the context of categorical algebra.

Previously, I completed my BSc, Honours and Masters degrees at the University of Cape Town (South Africa) under the supervision of Professor George Janelidze during which I spent a year at Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium) under the supervision of Professor Marino Gran.
