Topic: My PhD

I have to thank the entire Lean community for this. It all started when I stumbled upon you people porting Lean 3 to Lean 4 in March 2023, then I got attracted to Carleson in 2024, and more recently I've been approached by multiple AI companies and accepted positions at them…

But this letter beats everything else.

I indicated @Ilya Sergey as my advisor when I applied, but this is not set in stone yet.

Congratulations! It's well deserved, given how much hard work you've done for the port and the Carleson project.

Congratulations! Do you really think that it's your engagement with the Lean community that has brought these opportunities? Are AI companies and universities counting Mathlib PRs?

Through the Zulip I learned that @George Pîrlea was working in NUS, and that led me to my prospective advisor Ilya. So, at least in part, yes

For the record, I announced some months earlier that I was applying for this PhD at #Carleson > Outstanding Tasks, V4 @ 💬

Congratulations. I remember your absolutely gargantuan contribution to the port. This is well deserved.
