Summary
An Nguyen is a human factors consultant and cognitive science PhD candidate from Johns Hopkins with eight years of experience designing behavioral experiments, ethnographies, and computational models to study language, decision-making, and user perception. She has applied this expertise across academia, healthcare product safety, and finance—building NLP systems that informed $30B in asset management decisions and advising on medical-device warnings and product liability. Comfortable with both qualitative methods (interviews, ethnography) and quantitative approaches (surveys, experiments, computational modeling), she translates complex behavioral insights into actionable risk assessments and product design recommendations. Known for mentoring junior researchers and managing multimodal data pipelines (behavioral, eye-tracking, neuroimaging), she brings rigorous, interdisciplinary methods to improve user understanding and safety.
