I'm a PhD student at UC San Diego, co-advised by Nadia Polikarpova and Sorin Lerner, and studying PL (with a bit of HCI) in the Programming Systems group. I started in 2014.
I'm currently working on addressing program composibility through (targeted) program synthesis, on which I recently proposed a thesis topic. In addition, I'm also interested in verification, interactive synthesis, diagrams, constraint systems, lenses, functional reactive programming, program semantics, and interpreters and compilers.
Prior to UCSD, I obtained a BS in Computer Science/Mathematics from Harvey Mudd College.
My email address is jsarraci@cs.ucsd.edu and I attempt to answer promptly.
Outside of research, I play video games, listen to loud music, lift weights, look at beaches, and eat food.
