Senior🎓
Top SchoolKushin Mukherjee is a cognitive scientist and postdoctoral researcher at Stanford’s Cognitive Tools Lab who studies how humans and cutting-edge multimodal AI systems perceive and produce visual artifacts like sketches, diagrams, and graphs. With a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from UW–Madison and nine years of research experience, he combines behavioral experiments, computational vision models, and protocol-driven comparisons to reveal representational gaps between people and neural models. His work bridges cognitive science and AI, with publications and awards across venues from CogSci and Memory & Cognition to NeurIPS, ICLR, EMNLP, and IEEE VIS, and includes an Apple Vis internship that produced conference-level contributions. Known for designing rigorous data-collection pipelines and visualization analyses, he brings both experimental craft and model-driven insight to problems in visual communication.
