   8 <p>Hi, I'm Amin.  I am currently a graduate student at the
   9 <a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a>
  10 group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
  11 <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
  12 The main goal of my research is
  13 improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>
  14 through application of
  15 <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal
  16 methods</a>.</p>
  17
  18 <p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
  19 verification.  I am also interested in programming languages, proof
  20 assistants, and their type systems.</p>

  22 <p>On the side, I enjoy
