Personal Portfolio Images

Hi, I am Anthony Pedrosa
a UX Researcher.

I hold degrees in psychology, sociology and cognitive ergonomics from Université Savoie Mont Blanc, and teach cognitive sciences and ergonomics at Arts et Métiers Chambéry.

My work connects cognitive and social psychology, scientific methodology, data analysis with R/RStudio and Python, and human-factors based UX research.

Psychology, data and teaching

What I Do

Cognitive and Social Psychology

I work on learning, personality, decision-making, bias, attention, cognitive load and human-machine interaction.

Scientific Methodology

I structure research questions, hypotheses, variables, protocols, observations, interviews, surveys and user tests.

University Teaching

I design course material, facilitate engineering-student groups and turn psychological concepts into applied examples.

Data Processing

I use R, RStudio and Python to analyze, visualize and interpret data from experimental protocols and field studies.

I have also worked with MouseTracker, TensorFlow/Keras, SQL, Figma and Adobe XD.

Applied Research

My work covers food decision-making, social dynamics in video games and the contribution of human sciences to AI.

I connect literature review, protocol design, data and concrete recommendations.

Ergonomics and UX Research

I analyze usage, working conditions and behavior to design clearer, safer and more efficient interfaces and systems.

This approach combines psychology, cognitive ergonomics and field observation.

10+ years of experience
