Computer Vision News - May 2021

My grandfather Santiago initiated this business and my uncle runs it. With plátanos? Yes… I would encourage people not only to focus on the touristic part of the island, which is also very nice and I also enjoy. I would say that the Canary Islands hide many different treasures, especially in the north part of the island. You might find white sand beaches but also rocky beaches, which are also very nice. There are more fishes and sea animals over there. They should try to experience the real culture of the Canary Islands. The only reason you are not in the Canary Islands now is because of your career? Yes. Is your career important enough to keep you away from home? As I said, I decided not to go too far away. Maybe a time will come when I have my own family, I would want to go back there. The decision of where to live would also depend on my boyfriend. If I were to choose a place to have a family, it would be Canary Islands. If this is your personal dream, what is your professional dream? From a professional point of view, I would just be happy to keep the job that I have where I can learn and undoubtedly, little by little, progress and face new challenges. I don’t need to be the first woman in computer vision, I just want to enjoy my work, to be able to do it well, and to contribute. Also important for me is to be good to others, either for the new generation or for the community. That would be more important than being a super successful researcher. O r being the 10th Nobel prize from Bell Labs. You said that you are grateful to your teachers and what they taught you. What was the most important lesson that you still carry with you? 329 Ester Gonzalez-Sosa “… be good to others, either for the new generation or for the community. That would be more important than being a super successful researcher.”
