Summary
Eduard Kuric is the founder and CEO of UXtweak and an academic leader who bridges product-building with rigorous HCI research, holding a Ph.D. in Intelligent Information Systems and serving as Associate Professor and deputy director at the Slovak University of Technology. With over 15 years in UX research and AI and eight years of entrepreneurial experience leading UXtweak since 2019, he guides strategy, product research, and an in-house team that helps teams recruit participants, run studies, and extract insights. He publishes open-access, peer-reviewed work on UX methods and AI’s role in usability research, and contributes practical guidance through outlets like Smashing Magazine and UXtweak Research. His background spans hands-on software engineering, academic research, and teaching progressive web development, giving him rare fluency across study design, tooling, and implementation. Colleagues know him for combining methodological rigor with product pragmatism—and for thinking deeply about AI’s limitations in research rather than hyping it. Outside work he’s an avid cyclist and father of three, which he credits for sharpening his focus and time-management.
