-<dt>summer 2016 | Research Student</dt>
-<dd>Worked on <em>Literate Unit-B</em>, the verifier for Unit-B, a
-new formal method focused on formal verification of reactive,
-concurrent and distributed systems. From the Literate Unit-B codebase
-(written in Haskell), decoupled the logic module and used it to build
-<em>Unit-B Web</em>, a web interface using Literate Unit-B to do
-predicate calculus proofs. Unit-B Web, also written in Haskell,
-supports the <span class="tex">L<sup>a</sup>T<sub>e</sub>X</span>
-syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders user input on the page, and calls
-the sequent prover of the logic module, which uses the Z3 SMT solver
-to check the validity of user input.</dd>
-<dd>Separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser in a
-large refactoring, allowing easier substitution of other type checking
-algorithms, and in preparation for implementing subtyping.</dd>
