Assistant Professor at TalTech, advisor at Quantinuum. Mathematician & CS theorist. Born in ex-YU, raised in 🇮🇹, lived in 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇯🇵🇫🇷, now in 🇪🇪.

I am looking for a PhD student to work with me on a project at the intersection of type theory, combinatorial topology, higher category theory, rewriting theory. Starting date is asap; you need to have a Master's degree by the start of your PhD. The expected PhD study time at TalTech is 4 years. A PhD is a salaried position and is topped with an additional tax-free stipend from the department. There is a vibrant community of category theorists, type theorists, and theoretical computer scientists at TalTech. The PhD candidate would join the Compositionality group led by Pawel Sobocinski. We also work with the Logic and Semantics group led by Tarmo Uustalu. Tallinn is a beautiful city on the Baltic coast. The TalTech campus is interspersed with forested areas, which cover a large part of the country. Estonia has generous parental leave, a great education system, and legal same-sex marriage. Send a CV and an expression of interest to amar.hadzihasanovic@taltech.ee if you are interested.

Title: Combinatorics of higher-categorical diagrams Author: Amar Hadzihasanovic - Tallinn University of Technology First part of abstract: This is a book on higher-categorical diagrams, including pasting diagrams. It aims to provide a thorough and modern reference on the subject, collecting, revisiting, and expanding results scattered across the literature, informed by recent advances and practical experience with higher-dimensional diagram rewriting.
