Alejandro Vega Nogales
President
Description:
I'm finishing up my last year of my CS degree and possibly Cybersecurity minor. I believe the AECC's mission is to provide our members with resources that complement the topics covered in our curriculum, introduce new material to our members, give them additional tools to succeed after graduation, and provide a sense of community in our major. I like to help out our members by providing a good learning environment in the AECC where they can feel comfortable to ask about anything. I've researched on bioacustics monitoring using machine learning with Dr. Corrada, worked with Dr. Blattner at NIST to develop a tool for his heterogeneous HPC system, and I'm currently working with Dr. José Ortiz on a Cybersecurity project. I plan to pursue a CS PhD where I'll focus on Cybersecurity, HPC, and/or Data Science. I'm mostly interested in CS theory, but I like tinkering with languages, tools, Os's, etc.
Interests include:
cybersecurity, machine learning, tutoring, functional programming, python, research (particularly interdisciplinary), cats, videogames, FOSS, and Lillian.

Lillian González Albino
Vice President
Description:
Undergraduate Computer Science Research student. I am currently working on analyzing higher order mutation interactions using spectral analysis, a project my team and I started this summer as a part of the MSRI Undergraduate Program. I am also the tutor for the Discrete Mathematics course. I plan to pursue a doctorate's degree in Computational Mathematics or Data Science. As vice- president, I aspire to organize more activities that encourage students to enter and stay in the field of Computer Science. On my free time, I enjoy reading and doing crafts.
Interests include, but are not limited to:
Combinatorics, Algebra, Problem Solving, arts and crafts, cats, and Alejandro.
