Role OVERVIEW

Creating user-centered products for producers & consumers of academic research

As a UX Researcher at Academia.edu, my job is to facilitate mixed-methods research in collaboration with product teams to inspire, design, and build user-centered products that fuel Academia's mission of speeding up research in every domain - finding a solution to climate change; finding cures for diseases; evolving artificial intelligence; the list goes on & on.

I'm fascinated by all the problem spaces within the Academic domain, and I feel grateful that I get the opportunity to untangle the complicated nature of this evolving landscape by learning directly from the producers & consumers of academic research.
