54 The main goal of my research is improving
55 <strong>software&nbsp;reliability</strong>
56 through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
57 </p>
58
59 <p>
60 My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a>
61 focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification.
62 Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to
63 improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on
64 models.
65 </p>
66
67 <p>
68 I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and
69 interactive theorem proving.

73 On the side, I dabble in <a href="https://leanprover.github.io">Lean</a>
74 and <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org">Rust</a>, and enjoy
