Summary
Grzegorz Meller is a doctoral researcher and entrepreneur with 10 years of experience at the intersection of HCI, UX design and data engineering, currently advancing human-centered Explainable AI at KU Leuven. He co-founded UX Mining after developing an AI-based emotion recognition thesis, scaling the startup through accelerators and winning early VC and grant funding to serve startups and public-sector clients across the EU and USA. With a technical foundation in data engineering (B.Eng) and a master's in AI, he blends hands-on engineering—C#, data connectors, big-data tech—with product leadership skills honed as a PM and founder. Known for translating user research into actionable product features, he focuses on making AI accessible, trustworthy and ethically designed for diverse stakeholders.
