206
207 \begin{itemize}
208 \item As an undergraduate research student, I worked on \textit{Literate
209 Unit-B}, the verifier for Unit-B, a new formal method focused on formal
210 verification of reactive, concurrent and distributed systems.
211
212 From the Literate Unit-B codebase (written in Haskell), I decoupled the
213 logic module and used it to build \textit{Unit-B Web}, a web interface using
214 Literate Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs. \linebreak Unit-B Web, also
215 written in Haskell, supports the \LaTeX\ syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders
216 user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic module,
217 which uses the \textsc{z3 smt} solver to check the validity of user input.
218
219 \item Further, I separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser,
220 allowing easier substitution of other type checking algorithms and in
221 preparation for implementing subtyping.

341 \item \textit{tex2png-hs:} A tool for easily converting \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ to
342 \textsc{PNG} images. \texttt{tex2png-hs} is a Haskell port of Xyne's
343 \texttt{tex2png} tool. It is a wrapper around \texttt{latex} and
344 \texttt{dvipng} and provides several options for modifying its behaviour, such
345 as cropping the whitespace around the content, specifying the \textsc{DPI}, or
346 inputting a full document.
