Ryan Stolier is a Senior User Experience Researcher with 12 years of experience blending quantitative research, data science, and social-cognitive neuroscience to inform product strategy at scale. He has led trust & safety research at Meta and now drives quantitative UX for Google Search Verticals, translating complex behavioral and neural insights into measurable product impact. His background includes postdoctoral neuroimaging work and grant-funded psychological research, and he frequently bridges disciplines by building machine learning tools and custom analytics in Python. Known for turning nuanced social cognition findings into pragmatic measurement and execution plans, he pairs rigorous academic training (PhD, NYU/Dartmouth) with hands-on product delivery in high-impact consumer platforms. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to operate interchangeably as researcher, data scientist, and technical PM to push initiatives from insight to implementation.
