      The main goal of my research is improving
      <strong>software&nbsp;reliability</strong>
      through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
    </p>

    <p>
      My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a>
      focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification.
      Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to
      improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on
      models.
    </p>

    <p>
      I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and
      interactive theorem proving.
