   8 <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
   9 The main goal of my research is
  10 improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>
  11 through application of
  12 <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal methods</a>.</p>
  13
  14 <p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
  15 verification.  I am also interested in programming languages, proof
  16 assistants, and their type systems.</p>
