Amar Shah

I am currently an intern in Zhendong Su's group at ETH Zürich. I finished my undergradute at the University of California, Berkeley studying Math, Computer Science, and Logic, where I was advised by Federico Mora and Sanjit A. Seshia.

I am interested in building safe and verifiable software. Specifically, I aim to develop better tools for formal verification, programming languages, and automated reasoning.

I also really enjoy teaching, at Berkeley I have been on course staff for Math 1A: Calculus, CS 70: Discrete Math and Probability Theory, CS 170: Efficient Algorithms and Intractable Problems, and C191: Quantum Information Science and Technology
