Hello!

My name is Emilio Minichiello (he/him), I am a mathematician based in New York City. I like to apply category theory to other areas of mathematics and science, like differential geometry and database theory.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics department at CUNY CityTech. Before that I was a pure mathematics PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center, studying the intersection of category theory and differential geometry. My PhD thesis was Higher Diffeology Theory, applying homotopical and categorical methods to diffeological spaces. My advisor was Mahmoud Zeinalian.

During the last year of my PhD I also worked part-time at Conexus AI studying Categorical Database Theory.

The best way to reach me is by email.
