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