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>

24 activist, and an <a href="//www.fsf.org/associate/">associate member</a>
25 of the <a href="///www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>.
26 I'm the co-host of the <a href="//emacsel.com">Emacs.el</a>
27 podcast with <a href="//www.pygopar.com">Daniel Gopar</a>, and
28 the chief organizer of the
29 <a href="//emacsconf.org">EmacsConf</a> conference.
30 I'm also a member of the Systems Committee of the
