RESEARCH/TEACHING INTERESTS
Dr. Weinberger works in theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. His work employs category theory and (homotopy) type theory. These are foundational theories to capture and unify a range of concepts and constructions in computer science (e.g. programming languages, software erification, computability theory) and mathematics (e.g. algebra, topology, geometry). He is also interested in computer proof assistants and formalized mathematics, as well as the foundations of machine learning.
