   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>
