Secondly, I want to extend my gratitude to John Longley, who has
been an admirable second supervisor and who has stimulated my
mathematical curiosity.

Thirdly, I want to thank my academic brother Simon Fowler. You have
always been a good friend and a pillar of inspiration. Regardless of
academic triumphs and failures, we have always been able to laugh at
it all and have our own fun.
I also want to thank KC Sivaramakrishnan for taking a genuine
interest in my research early on and for inviting me to come spend
some time at OCaml Labs in Cambridge, where I met Anil Madhavapeddy,
Stephen Dolan, and Leo White. I have learned so much from each of
them and I have been fortunate to enjoy productive and long-standing
collaboration with them. Also, thanks to Gemma Gordon, who I had the
pleasure of sharing an office with during one of my stints at OCaml
Labs.
I am very grateful for the fruitful and long-standing collaboration
with Robert Atkey that I have been fortunate to enjoy. Robert has
been a continuous source of inspiration.

Thanks to James McKinna for always asking intellectually
interesting, and at times challenging, questions. I have appreciate
our many conversations even though I spent days, weeks, sometimes
months, and in extreme cases years to think about answers to your
questions. Also thanks to Brian Campbell and J. Garrett Morris for
putting up with all the supervision meetings that I had with Sam in
their shared office 5.28.
Speaking of offices, I also want to thank my peers from my own
office 5.21 for stimulating my general interest in computer science
and mathematics beyond programming languages. Also, thanks to my CDT
cohort, I want to particularly emphasise my gratitude to Amna
Shahab, who has been a truly valuable friend.
