161 \textit{Research Assistant}
162
163 \begin{itemize}
164 \item I worked on an implementation of
165 \href{https://bertrandmeyer.com/2014/12/07/lampsort/}{\textit{Lampsort}} in
166 Eiffel. I also extended the
167 \href{https://svn.eecs.yorku.ca/repos/sel-open/mathmodels/}{\texttt{mathmodels}}
168 library, implementing a \textsc{RATIONAL} class for working with arbitrarily
169 large rational numbers.

174
175 \textit{Research Student}
176
177 \begin{itemize}
178 \item As an undergraduate research student, I worked on \textit{Literate
179 Unit-B}, the verifier for Unit-B, a new formal method focused on formal
180 verification of reactive, concurrent and distributed systems.
181
182 From the Literate Unit-B codebase (written in Haskell), I decoupled the
183 logic module and used it to build \textit{Unit-B Web}, a web interface using
184 Literate Unit-B to do predicate calculus proofs. \linebreak Unit-B Web, also
185 written in Haskell, supports the \LaTeX\ syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders
186 user input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic module,
187 which uses the \textsc{z3 smt} solver to check the validity of user input.
188
189 \item Further, I separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser,
190 allowing easier substitution of other type checking algorithms and in
191 preparation for implementing subtyping.

306 \href{https://github.com/unitb/unitb-web}{https://github.com/unitb/unitb-web}
307
308 \item \textit{tex2png-hs:} A tool for easily converting \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ to
309 \textsc{PNG} images. \texttt{tex2png-hs} is a Haskell port of Xyne's
310 \texttt{tex2png} tool. It is a wrapper around \texttt{latex} and
311 \texttt{dvipng} and provides several options for modifying its behaviour, such
312 as cropping the whitespace around the content, specifying the \textsc{DPI}, or
313 inputting a full document.
