Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease affecting 500,000 people globally each year, including over 10,000 in the UK, with a mere 5% ten-year survival rate. Our goal is to accelerate the clinical translation of innovative miniature, hair-thin imaging devices we have previously developed [https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JBO.29.2.026002]. These devices are designed to enable early and accurate detectio

Dependent type theory is a foundation of mathematics that allows us to mechanise arguments, and is closely related to higher category theory. It serves as that basis of programming languages and proof assistants. The current project aims to make progress in the field of dependent type theory and, in particular, in homotopy type theory, by exploring which statements can be expressed in which settin
