### Research interests

My research work is in homotopy and higher category theory. I am particularly interested in the interactions between these two areas. I also work on questions in homological algebra.

#### Summary of past research activities

I have maintained an active involvement in my field via collaborations, research positions and academic visits to some of the main research centres for my area, such as the Centre for Australian Category Theory (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia).

I participated in various special-year programs in homotopy theory and higher category theory (Fields Institute Toronto 2007, CRM Barcelona 2007-2008). I have contributed to the dissemination of knowledge in my field with several talks at international conferences and at Institutions throughout Europe, North America and Australia.
