Hi, I'm Amin. I am currently a graduate student at the +Waterloo Formal Methods +group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by +Nancy Day. +The main goal of my research is +improving software and systems reliability +through application of +formal methods.

+ +

My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and +verification. I am also interested in programming languages, proof +assistants, and their type systems.

+ +

On the side, I enjoy +hacking on +elisp +and guile. +I am a GNU maintainer and +webmaster, +a free software +activist, and an associate member +of the Free Software Foundation. +I'm the co-host of the Emacs.el +podcast with Daniel Gopar, and +the chief organizer of the +EmacsConf conference. +I'm also a member of the Systems Committee of the +Computer Science Club of +the University of Waterloo.
