| 5 | <p>Hi, I'm Amin. I am currently a graduate student at the |
| 6 | <a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a> |
| 7 | group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by |
| 8 | <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy Day</a>. |
| 9 | The main goal of my research is |
| 10 | improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong> |
| 11 | through application of |
| 12 | <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal methods</a>.</p> |
| 13 | |
| 14 | <p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and |
| 15 | verification. I am also interested in programming languages, proof |
| 16 | assistants, and their type systems.</p> |
| 17 | |
| 18 | <p>On the side, I enjoy |
