Algebraic and coalgebraic specification of datatypes. 3

4 6.2 Teaching 6 ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES Program semantics and Domain Theory. Curry-Howard correspondence and type theory. Monads and functional programming. From 2007 I have been working on the formal systems of polish logician Stanislaw Leśniewski ( ). My undergraduate thesis on creative definitions in Leśniewski s system of Ontology proves a conjecture formulated in the 70 s and suggests new proof methods to investigate the role of creative definition in Leśniewski s systems. Collaborations and mail correspondence on Leśniewski include: A.Betti (Vrije Univ. of Amsterdam), P.Joray (Univ. of Rennes), F.V.Rickey (West Point University), Z. Stachniak (York Univ. in Toronto). 6.2 Teaching January 2012: teaching assistant in the course Imperative programming in Python : preparation of lecture notes and slides for crash courses at the Computer Science department of MaxMara on the following topics: 6.3 Talks Invited talks Python 3 Object-Oriencted programming in Javascript (I also taught some modules of the course) YUI (Yahoo User Interface library in Javascript) Mercurial On S.Leśniewski s Ontology, May 27th 2009, workshop Seminars of Logic and Philosophy of Language, University of Siena.
