7 group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
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>
