Travis Breaux conducts research in requirements engineering, which aims to translate often ambiguous and conflicting user needs into executable software specifications through the use of natural language semantic analysis and formal notations. Prior work focuses on extracting predictable, analytical models from laws, regulations and policies to help software developers evaluate their system against a set of rules or norms.

Lorrie Cranor is a Professor of Computer Science and of Engineering and Public Policy. She directs CyLab as well as it's Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory, and her research combines three high-level strategies to make secure systems more usable: building systems that "just work" without involving humans in security-critical functions; making secure systems intuitive and easy to use; and teaching humans how to perform security-critical tasks.

Heather Miller is interested in various flavors of distributed and concurrent computation, often from the perspective of programming languages: data-centric, data-intensive (big data), and eventually-consistent (edge computing). A major recurring theme in her work is composability. She seeks to enable the construction of complex distributed systems via the composition of well-understood components that are correct by construction.

I work on algorithms and machine learning. My recent work focuses on (1) how to make machine learning better aligned with societal values, especially privacy and fairness, and (2) how to make machine learning more reliable and robust when algorithms interact with social and economic dynamics. I study these questions using methods and models from learning theory, optimization, statistics, differential privacy, game theory, and mechanism design, and human-computer interaction.
