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

15 methods</a>.</p>

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