Hi, I’m Huascar (pronounced wäs-kär), an AI researcher at Charles Schwab’s AI.x group. Before that, I was a member of SRI’s Computer Science Laboratory, and earlier still, a member of the Software Introspection Lab at UC Santa Cruz, where I worked with Jim Whitehead.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from UC Santa Cruz in December 2015, and my MS in Software Engineering from San Jose State University in 2006. My research interests lie at the intersection of AI and software engineering: multi-AI collaboration optimization and LLM chemistry estimation for complex, compound software and AI tasks; AI for coding automation, source code analysis, and social-cyber security; and the application of automated software engineering principles to the development and deployment of AI systems. I study how these ideas can improve developer productivity, deepen our understanding of complex software systems, and enable the creation of more reliable and secure software.

I was the PI on DARPA Social Cyber and have successfully contributed to several DARPA-funded efforts, including DARPA ARCOS and DARPA MUSE. As a DARPA Social Cyber PI, I developed data-driven software introspection technology to protect open-source project software supply chains from social and technical attacks.

My Erdös number is 3: P. Schweitzer, B.D. McKay, and P. Erdös.

Cheers,
Huascar A. Sanchez
