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

22 <p>On the side, I enjoy
