\section*{Research Interests}

\begin{itemize}
\item Functional programming and functional languages.
\item Formal methods, especially type systems, proof systems, and automated
  provers.
\item Verification, Haskell, and Rust.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Research Experience}

\begin{itemize}
\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer
  2017}

  \textit{Research Assistant}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item I'm working on expanding and testing \texttt{mathmodels},
    library implementing abstract mathematical collections written in Eiffel. I'll also
    be modeling various pieces of software in $\textrm{TLA}^+$.
  \end{itemize}

\item {\large Software Engineering Lab, } York University\, |\, {\small summer 2016}

  \textit{Research Student}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item As an undergraduate research student, I worked on \textit{Literate
      Unit-B}, 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), I decoupled the
    logic module and used it to build \textit{Unit-B Web}, a web interface using
    Literate Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs. \linebreak Unit-B Web, also
    written in Haskell, supports the \LaTeX\ syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders
    user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic module,
    which uses the \textsc{z3 smt} solver to check the validity of user input.

  \item Further, I separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser,
    allowing easier substitution of other type checking algorithms and in
    preparation for implementing subtyping.
  \end{itemize}
