<p>Hi, I'm Amin.  I am currently a graduate student at the
<a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a>
group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
<a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
The main goal of my research is
improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>
through application of
<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal methods</a>.</p>

<p>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.</p>
