"You Belong in AI!" Episode 6 - Santiago Gonzalez

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.
