  46       The main goal of my research is improving
  47       <strong>software&nbsp;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.
