Jose M. Gonzalez is a General Engineer at the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research at Fort Sam Houston, TX, and a Ph.D. student in joint Biomedical Engineering program at the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He has received both his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UTSA, completing his master’s work under the mentorship of Dr. R. Lyle Hood. His doctoral research, conducted in collaboration with the MDI Lab, focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve trauma care through advanced signal processing and high-fidelity waveform analysis. His work emphasizes developing predictive models for hemorrhagic shock, blood loss estimation, and clinical decision support in prehospital and combat casualty care settings. Jose’s research has resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications on machine learning applications in biomedical signal processing. In his free time, he enjoys weightlifting and exploring nature.
