   7 <p>Hi, I'm Amin.  I am currently a graduate student at the
   8 <a href="//watform.uwaterloo.ca">Waterloo Formal Methods</a>
   9 group at the University of Waterloo, supervised by
  10 <a href="//cs.uwaterloo.ca/~nday/">Nancy&nbsp;Day</a>.
  11 The main goal of my research is
  12 improving <strong>software and systems reliability</strong>
  13 through application of
  14 <a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_methods">formal
  15 methods</a>.</p>
  16
  17 <p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
  18 verification.  I am also interested in programming languages, proof
  19 assistants, and their type systems.</p>
