Sarah Abdeen

Sarah is a third-year undergraduate student studying Computer Science at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. She is also a first-generation college student. Her technological interests include computer ethics and human-computer interaction. In addition, research is of interest to her as she plans to pursue higher education after undergraduate studies. She will be taking on a research internship at the University of California, San Diego during the summer of 2025. What led her to pursue Computer Science and technology as a whole was the versatility that the knowledge and logic gained can be used in different industries and sectors. It was also the fact that there is a disparity between women and men taking on tech jobs. Technology and artificial intelligence have made such an impact on the lives of the vast majority of people, and knowing that, the diversity in the creation and conversations behind that is important. The input of women, of diverse backgrounds, and unique experiences cultivates an inclusive and unbiased output
