I am a soon-to-finish PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. My research involves enriched categories, 2-categories, monads and Kan extensions. In particular, I have spent quite some time studying pushforward monads, which give a universal way of transporting a monad along a functor.

Representation theorist and mathematical physicist interested in literature, writing and photography.

Andrea Blunck, mathematician. Since 2004 Professor of Mathematics and Gender Studies, Department of Mathematics, University of Hamburg.

PhD-student from Gothenburg, working on higher category theory.

Ioannis and Peter are queer tango dancers based in Cambridge. In their spare time, they enjoy traveling to queer tango festivals, occasionally teaching tango workshops, and going on unsolicited rants on the subject whenever the chance arises.

I study the category theory of Petri nets at Coherence Research Limited and live in Glasgow, Scotland.

I am an MA student in Logic and Philosophy of Science at LMU Munich. I enjoy questions that sit at the boundaries between disciplines and connect different ways of thinking about the same phenomenon. My current interests include structures, representation, diagrams, and meaning.

I'm a second year PhD-student in maths at the University of Hertfordshire. Have a look at my website https://lauraolivia.eu/

I am a PhD student, supervised by Tom Leinster; and a tutor; in the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh. I am part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry, and Quantum Fields. My primary research interests are category theory and universal algebra.

rhandos (she/her) is a being working in human rights, data protection, computers, activism and arts - often in combination with each other. Her current home space is CCCHH.

Greetings! My name is Ruby Khondaker. I'm a PhD student in condensed matter physics at the University of Oxford, whose current research is to do with low-energy properties of the eigenstates of SYK, especially at finite N.

I came across category theory during my masters, after an undergrad that had largely disillusioned me with pure maths, and instantly fell in love with the subject. While it's more of a hobby for me at the moment, category theory actually has quite major applications in condensed matter. There are lots of interesting topological, homotopical and categorical phenomena that arise naturally in the study of quantum materials, so I am speedrunning some textbooks to learn about (and hopefully one day contribute) to this!

I run a math blog which is mostly about using the ideas of category theory in a pedagogical sense, to teach math concepts one might meet in early university from a new perspective. Other than that I'm a big anime and gaming nerd, especially anything Toby Fox has made! You'll likely be seeing my Ralsei plush a bunch over the course of the conference :)

I am a PhD Candidate in the department of Mathematics at Dalhousie University under the supervision of Dr. Neil Julien Ross. My research interests include quantum computing, categorical algebra, computational algebra, and formal methods.
