Hello! I'm Sarah, and I am a second-year PhD student in the Software and Societal Systems Department at Carnegie Mellon, advised by Travis Breaux.
My work focuses on reasoning about legal aspects of software and on collaboration interfaces between lawyers, engineers, and large-language models. I'm currently exploring how neuro-symbolic AI🦜 and human-computer interaction 💞 can support reasoning about software requirements in privacy and security🤔💻. In addition to research, I care deeply about my teaching efforts in K-12 STEM tutoring and computer science pedagogy.
In a past life, I worked with lawyers and economists on quantitative fraud investigations at Berkeley Research Group. I have a B.S. from Georgetown University, where I majored in Science, Technology, and International Affairs, and a master's in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania's MCIT program.
