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