  25 <p>Hi, I'm Amin.  I am currently a graduate student at the
  26 <a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a>
  27 group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
  28 <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
  29 The main goal of my research is
  30 improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>
  31 through application of
  32 <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal methods</a>.</p>
  33
  34 <p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
  35 verification.  I am also interested in programming languages, proof
  36 assistants, and their type systems.</p>
