Emilio Minichiello
Location: New York City
Hello!
My name is Emilio Minichiello (he/him), I am a mathematician based in New York City. I like to apply abstract methods like category theory and homotopy theory to down-to-earth subjects in mathematics such as graph theory, combinatorics and database theory.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics department at CUNY CityTech.
Before working at CityTech, 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.
