Sandra Ann Slaughter (died November 3, 2014) was an American software engineer and management scientist known for her research on business analytics and the software development process. She was Alton M. Costley Chair and Professor of Information Technology Management at Georgia Tech. She and her husband also held a world record for the longest tandem bicycle tour.




Education and career


Slaughter worked in the information technology industry for ten years, before returning to graduate study in management information systems, in which she earned a PhD through the University of Minnesota. Her 1995 doctoral dissertation, Software development practices and software maintenance performance: A field study, was co-advised by Rajiv Banker and Gordon B. Davis.
She became Xerox Research Chair in Carnegie Mellon University's Carnegie Mellon University, and then in 2007 moved to the Scheller College of Business at Georgia Tech.




Personal life and cycling


Slaughter was married to Ronald Gray Slaughter. Between her industry work and her return to graduate study, the two of them took a 19-month hiatus, touring the world on a tandem bicycle. This tour earned them a Guinness World Record for the longest tandem bicycle tour, and was documented in a book, published in 1996.




Recognition


Slaughter was named a distinguished fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) Information Systems Society in 2014. She was posthumously awarded the 2022 Information Systems Society President's Service Award.
