Hannah Huston is a rising senior studying Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame with a strong interdisciplinary focus on data science, public policy, and socially responsible computing. She combines hands-on technical experience—contributing kernel-level features like fork/exec and keyboard_read_char to an educational OS project—with leadership roles across campus, including Co-President of College Democrats and restarting a mentorship nonprofit for siblings of people with disabilities. Her research work spans political science databases and social network analysis, and she’s part of an iTREDS cohort applying data-driven approaches to local housing and health outcomes. Comfortable in both technical and civic arenas, Hannah bridges code and community to turn data into actionable policy insights.
