Senior🎓
Top SchoolKush Hari is a PhD student and Graduate Student Researcher at UC Berkeley with 8 years of engineering and research experience focused on surgical robotics, policy learning, active vision, and cloud robotics. He combines hands-on systems work—building simulations, mixed-reality surgical apps, and robotics perception/control pipelines—with machine learning research that accelerates optimization and control. His background spans biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science from Vanderbilt, and includes published work on neurosurgical mixed-reality and brain-shift simulation. Kush has applied ML outside academia too, from sleep-tracking classifiers at Cigna to neural-network–driven MPC speedups for quadrupeds, showing a knack for translating research into practical tools. Based in Columbus, OH, he brings interdisciplinary fluency across software, hardware, and clinical collaboration to automate delicate surgical tasks.
