Answer:

"The program was written by Sara, who is an expert in her field."

"To whom should I talk to about the report?"

Step-by-step explanation:

Who is a pronoun that represents the subject of a sentence:

  • Who would like to go to the supermarket?
  • Who built that castle?

Whom is a pronoun that represents the object of either a verb or a preposition:

  • To whom was the song dedicated?
  • Whom do you trust?
  • I am not sure with whom I will go to the concert.

By replacing the pronoun with he/she or him/her it is easier to realize its function:

Who/whom took my laptop?

He took my laptop (RIGHT) - him took my laptop (wrong)

So in this case, the correct pronoun to use is who.

Who/whom should I talk to about the issue with my boss?

I should talk to he (wrong) - I should talk to him. (RIGHT)

Here, the correct pronoun to use is whom.
