- The main goal of my research is improving
- <strong>software reliability</strong>
- through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
- </p>
+<p>My research at WatForm focuses on formal logic, model checking, and
+verification. I am also interested in programming languages, proof
+assistants, and their type systems.</p>

- My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a>
- focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification.
- Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to
- improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on
- models.
