5<p>Hi, I'm Amin. I am currently a graduate student at the
6<a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a>
7group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
8<a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
9The main goal of my research is
10improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>

14<p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
15verification. I am also interested in programming languages, proof
16assistants, and their type systems.</p>
