- <p>
- The main goal of my research is improving
- <strong>software reliability</strong>
- through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
- </p>
-
- <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.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and
- interactive theorem proving.
