Short Biography.

Dr. Eugene Santos, Jr. (born 1968) received his Ph.D. ('92) in Computer Science from Brown University. He is currently the Sydney E. Junkins 1887 Professor of Engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering and Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. He is also the Director for the Master of Engineering program. Dr. Santos’ work on artificial intelligence intersects the areas of information, cognition, human factors, and mathematics. His current focus is on computational intent, dynamic human behavior, and reasoning and decision-making with an emphasis on learning nonlinear and emergent behaviors and trust in AI. Dr. Santos has applied his work with the goal of better understanding how we, both as individuals and our society, can best leverage knowledge and how we can work with AI to improve our world for social good. These application areas include computational social systems – individual to group decision-making, opinion and belief change, socio-cultural attitudes and factors, and social resilience; user and team modeling – inferring user intentions and needs, human-AI team intention gaps, and effective use of text and data analytics; and, cybersecurity – insider threat and deception detection, misinformation vs. disinformation, and adversarial intent and course of action analysis. Dr. Santos has previously served on the Department of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (DAF SAB) appointed by the Secretary of Defense. He also served on the Board of Directors for Sigma Xi, was appointed to the State of Vermont Taskforce on AI, and is a 2019 Public Voices fellow of the OpEd Project. Dr. Santos was Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics from 2008-2013. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and IEEE.
