Professor Susan L. Epstein is fascinated by how brains and minds solve problems, and how a computer can capitalize on that knowledge. At Hunter College and the Graduate Center, she works primarily in knowledge representation, machine learning, and cognitive robotics. She is an Executive Councilor for AAAI where she chairs the Ethics Committee and represents AAAI on the ACM/IEEE/AAAI steering committee that develops the worldwide curriculum for undergraduate computer science. Interdisciplinarity is key in Dr. Epstein's research; she has also served on the governing board and as Chair of The Cognitive Science Society and is a co-Pi at the National Science Foundation's Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines.
