42 The main goal of my research is improving
43 <strong>software&nbsp;reliability</strong>
44 through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
45 </p>
46
47 <p>
48 My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a>
49 focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification.
50 Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to
51 improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on
52 models.
53 </p>
54
55 <p>
56 I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and
57 interactive theorem proving.
