Cynthia A. Niaz

I'm a senior physics major at Carleton with a background in computer science. Last spring I built Court, Explained, which turns federal court opinions into plain-English summaries — it runs daily and has explained 87,000+ opinions from the Southern District of New York, the Northern District of California, and the District of Minnesota. I've also worked on demand modeling at Oracle, AI tooling for a real estate firm, and spent a summer in chambers at the U.S. District Court.

Outside of academics and work, I enjoy reading nonfiction and distance running. I compete for my college's varsity cross country and track teams and ran Grandma's Marathon in Duluth in 2024.
