  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.
