Quantitative UX research · Cognitive Science PhD
I study how people use digital products—and what their behavior can tell us.
With a PhD in Cognitive Science, I use experiments, eye and mouse data, and statistical and machine-learning models to investigate attention and interaction. I connect those findings to research priorities and product decisions.

01 — Selected evidence
Measurement, experiments and product decisions.
Published research and professional case studies, with the contribution, outcome and limits of each piece of work made explicit.
01Behavioral artificial intelligence
View all six projects ↗Can the way we look really reveal personality?
Some gaze characteristics vary with personality; the most credible are those that reappear across tasks, content and moments of exploration.
Published research · Scientific Reports, 2024↗02Behavioral modelingPredictive segmentation: why website transfer changed the decision
Predictive signal on known sites; insufficient transfer to another site led to stopping before productionization.
Feasibility study stopped before productionization.↗03Multimodal interactionDoes gaze always lead the mouse?
Eye and mouse cooperate, but the cursor may follow, anticipate, mark a location or stay still while gaze keeps exploring.

100 screenshots × 6 dimensions; Pearson 0.343–0.535 by dimension, without a calibration claim.
Offline experiment; saved results and reproduced correlations.↗02 — One throughline
Behavior → AI → Product → Impact.
One line of reasoning connects my projects: start with a product question, choose useful signals, build a model and make its output understandable.

From research protocol to deployed system.
Five case studies show how I helped turn hypotheses into products and innovations across segmentation, search, recommendation and AI-assisted UX.

Predictive signal on known sites; insufficient transfer to another site led to stopping before productionization.↗02Multimodal retrievalMultimodal search and recommendation: from image to production pipeline
Task-specific model selection and production implementation of an incremental text-image pipeline, with monitoring and load testing.↗03Ranking personalizationPersonalizing search through user affinities
Affinities outperform context alone across offline NDCG, Hit Rate and MRR; online uplift remains to be measured.↗04Multimodal UX evaluationGenerative AI for UX evaluation: comparing model and human judgments

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS · NATURE PORTFOLIO · 2024Cognitive Science explains what my products are designed to measure.
My PhD connects personality, visual attention and digital interactions. It provides the experimental framework for separating a useful signal from a merely technical correlation.
