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

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