Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Kushner is a postdoctoral scholar blending geometry, animation, and machine learning to model brain structure deformation across pregnancy and postpartum while also analyzing human motion-capture for sports. With a PhD from the University of Toronto and a multicultural academic background from Grenoble and Drexel, she has a decade of experience bridging research, teaching, and hands-on systems development in graphics, geometry processing, and computational fabrication. Her work spans physical storytelling—zoetropes and animatronics—to statistical neuroimaging, reflecting a rare mix of creative media and rigorous quantitative methods. She has taught upper-year computer graphics courses, contributed to interdisciplinary privacy and robotics projects, and published research born from collaborative lab environments. Outside academia she pursues gymnastics, a detail that underscores her embodied approach to studying motion and human-centered design.
