Hi, I’m Huascar (pronounced wäs-kär), a Senior Computer Scientist at SRI’s Computer Science Laboratory. Before joining SRI, I was a member of the Software Introspection Lab at UC Santa Cruz, working with Jim Whitehead.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from UC Santa Cruz in December 2015, and my MS in Software Engineering from San Jose State University in 2006. My research interests are broad, spanning AI for software engineering, program analysis/verification, source code analysis, and social cyber security; program analysis for AI; and AI engineering for the practical and safe use of AI across the SDLC. I study how the solutions that emerge in this space can be used to both understand and evaluate complex software systems and to produce more reliable and secure software.

I was the PI on DARPA Social Cyber and have successfully contributed to several DARPA-funded efforts, including DARPA ARCOS and DARPA MUSE. As a DARPA Social Cyber PI, I developed data-driven software introspection technology to protect open-source project software supply chains from social and technical attacks.

My Erdös number is 3: P. Schweitzer, B.D. McKay, and P. Erdös.

Current projects

Previous Projects: DARPA SocialCyber, DARPA SoSITE, DARPA MUSE, DARPA CSFV.

Cheers,
Huascar A. Sanchez
