Top SchoolErin Bugbee is an applied scientist with a PhD in Cognitive Decision Science from Carnegie Mellon and nine years of experience bridging human decision research and machine learning. She has developed and taught curricula on responsible, generative, and agentic AI at AWS’s Machine Learning University and now builds applied AI education and tools at AWS in Seattle. Her background spans internships at Apple, Microsoft, Disney, and Amazon, plus research applying reinforcement learning and topological data analysis to cognitive and sequential data problems.
