Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Chasins is an assistant professor of EECS at UC Berkeley with 15 years of experience building programming languages and human-centered tools that make automation accessible to non-traditional programmers like journalists and social scientists. Her research blends program synthesis, HCI, and data science to create systems where automating a task is easier than teaching it to a person, and she has a track record from internships at Microsoft Research to long-term research roles at Berkeley and the University of Washington. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley after a BA in Honors Computer Science and Behavioral Economics from Swarthmore, and she brings practical teaching experience as a former head TA and course instructor. Known for work on programming-by-demonstration and typestate-oriented runtimes, she focuses on tools that lower the barrier to programming rather than just advancing theory. Based in Berkeley, CA, she combines rigorous academic research with an applied mission to democratize computation across disciplines.
