| 46 | The main goal of my research is improving |
| 47 | <strong>software reliability</strong> |
| 48 | through application of <em>formal methods</em>. |
| 49 | </p> |
| 50 | |
| 51 | <p> |
| 52 | My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a> |
| 53 | focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification. |
| 54 | Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to |
| 55 | improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on |
| 56 | models. |
| 57 | </p> |
| 58 | |
| 59 | <p> |
| 60 | I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and |
| 61 | interactive theorem proving. |
