好色先生TV鈥檚 Cleotilde 鈥淐oty鈥� Gonzalez has been elected a fellow of the聽American Association for the Advancement of Science聽(AAAS).聽
The fellow distinction is a lifetime honor achievement within the organization, which promotes the use of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve current issues.
A research professor in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences (SDS), Gonzalez has been recognized by AAAS for 鈥渄istinguished contributions to the field of cognitive science, particularly the development of Instance-Based Learning Theory, from which computational models have emerged in cybersecurity, network science and human-machine teaming.鈥�
The AAAS Fellows class of 2024 includes 471 scientists, engineers and innovators who have been recognized for their scientifically and socially distinguished achievements.聽Gonzalez is the 15th faculty member from Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences to be elected a fellow of AAAS. She will be inducted on June 7 during the AAAS annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 class of fellows are the embodiment of scienti铿乧 excellence and service to our communities,鈥� said Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS chief executive officer and executive publisher of the Science family of journals. 鈥淎t a time when the future of the scienti铿乧 enterprise in the U.S. and around the world is uncertain, their work demonstrates the value of sustained investment in science and engineering.鈥�
Gonzalez is the founding director of the聽Dynamic Decision Making Laboratory.聽In addition to her appointment in SDS, she is affiliated with the聽,听,听听补苍诲听 (CNBC).
鈥淭hroughout my career, I have been driven by a deep passion for understanding how humans make decisions in dynamic environments and how we can design cognitive systems that both emulate and enhance human decision-making,鈥� Gonzalez said. 鈥淭his recognition underscores the significance of my interdisciplinary approach, bridging cognitive science, computer science, and decision science to advance our understanding of the interactions between humans and technology.鈥�
Gonzalez has been principal or co-investigator on a wide range of multimillion-dollar, multi-year collaborative efforts with government and industry. She serves as research co-director of the National Science Foundation-funded聽AI Institute for Societal Decision Making. In addition, she is involved in Multi-University Research Initiative grants from the Army Research Laboratories and Army Research Office; large collaborative projects with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA).
鈥淏eing inducted as an AAAS fellow is an incredible honor that not only recognizes my contributions to cognitive science but also reflects the collective efforts of my students, postdoctoral researchers and collaborators鈥�, Gonzalez said. 鈥淚 am deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this field and to mentor the next generation of scientists who will continue to push the boundaries of human-AI complementarity.鈥�
Gonzalez is a fellow of the聽Cognitive Science Society聽and the聽Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. She is also a member of the governing board of the聽Cognitive Science Society and a member of the advisory committee for the聽Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. She is a senior editor for Topics in Cognitive Science, a consulting editor for Decision and associate editor for the System Dynamics Review. She also is a member of editorial boards for journals including Cognitive Science, Psychological Review and Perspectives on Psychological Science
