22 I’m a graduate student at
<a href=

</a>
23 at University of Waterloo, supervised by
24 <a href=
"https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Dr.
Nancy
Day
</a>.
25 The main goal of my research is improving
26 <strong>software and systems reliability
</strong>
27 through application of
<em>formal methods
</em>.
31 My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model
32 checking, and verification. I’m also interested in
33 programming languages, theorem provers, and their type
34 systems. You may wish to view my
