I was awarded my PhD by the University of Sussex in April 2026 after passing my viva with minor corrections in February, and submitting the thesis in December 2025. Thanks to Prof. Ian Mackie (although he's now at London South Bank University) for being my supervisor. Thesis title is "Designing a High-Level Programming Language for Interaction Nets" and it can be accessed at href="papers.html">Papers.
