"You Belong in AI!" Episode 6 - Santiago Gonzalez - a podcast by UCLA ACM AI

In the sixth episode of the "You Belong in AI!" podcast, UCLA ACM AI Outreach interviews Santiago Gonzalez (he/him/his). Santiago Gonzalez is a PhD candidate at UT Austin and an AI Researcher in Cognizant's Evolutionary AI team, expecting to graduate in December 2020. Santiago's research lies at the intersection of machine learning and evolutionary computation, where he evolves novel loss functions for neural networks that are able to increase model accuracy, make better use of small datasets, and confer resistance to adversarial attacks. Prior to pursuing a PhD at UT Austin, Santiago received his B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mines, where his research focussed on time synchronization in wireless sensor networks.
