Brendan Fong is a mathematician and researcher known for his contributions to the field of [[Category theory]]. He is one of the co-founders of [[Topos Institute]], a research organization focused on applying Category Theory to various disciplines. Fong co-founded Topos Institute alongside [[David Spivak]], another prominent mathematician. Fong has made significant contributions to the study of Category Theory and its applications. His research interests lie at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and physics. He has explored how Category Theory can be used to understand complex systems, networks, and information flow in these disciplines. Fong's work often centers around developing new mathematical frameworks and tools that can be applied in practical settings. He has published extensively on topics such as applied category theory, network theory, dynamical systems, and quantum physics. His collaboration with David Spivak resulted in several notable publications that have helped popularize the use of Category Theory in different fields. One of their most well-known works is the book "[[@SevenSketchesCompositionality2018|Seven Sketches in Compositionality]]," which provides an accessible introduction to using Category Theory in computer science. Fong's research has garnered recognition within the academic community, and he has received awards for his work. His contributions have also had a significant impact on the broader scientific community by bridging the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and real-world applications. Through his involvement with Topos Institute, Brendan Fong continues to advance the understanding and application of Category Theory across various domains. His work not only contributes to theoretical developments but also provides practical insights into complex systems and networks. # References ```dataview Table title as Title, authors as Authors where contains(authors, "Brendan Fong") ```
