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>
37
38 <p>On the side, I enjoy
39 <a href="//stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html">hacking</a> on
40 <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/elisp.html">elisp</a>
41 and <a href="//www.gnu.org/software/guile/">guile</a>.
42 I am a GNU <a href="//www.gnu.org/people/#bandali">maintainer</a> and
43 <a href="//www.gnu.org/people/webmeisters.html#bandali">webmaster</a>,
44 a <a href="//www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>
45 activist, and an <a href="//www.fsf.org/associate/">associate member</a>
46 of the <a href="///www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>.
47 I'm the co-host of the <a href="//emacsel.com">Emacs.el</a>
48 podcast with <a href="//www.pygopar.com">Daniel Gopar</a>, and
49 the chief organizer of the
50 <a href="//emacsconf.org">EmacsConf</a> conference.
51 I'm also a member of the Systems Committee of the
