About Dipanwita Dasgupta
I’m a PhD-trained, mixed-method user researcher with 8+ years of industry experience delivering actionable insights to shape short- and long- term product strategies. My academic background in building AI/ML models (PhD in Computer Science) gives me the technical fluency to conduct user research in complex human-centered AI experiences. My work has directly influenced adoption of AI-powered features at companies like Meta, Google and SAP, where I led foundational and tactical research across highly complex technical spaces. I specialize in triangulating qualitative and quantitative insights to uncover user needs, validate concepts, and drive product adoption, partnering cross-functionally to guide product direction at companies like Meta, SAP, and a national healthcare organization.At Meta, I led generative and evaluative research for Facebook App and Ads Manager. Using a blend of interviews, surveys, log data, and stakeholder input, I surfaced user mental models and friction points—shaping long-term strategy, research roadmaps, and near-term product development across multiple teams. I focus on delivering actionable insights – be it from my research readout or during product brainstorming sessions—to help bring the user needs and pain-points to the table. I\'m passionate about scalable research practices and mentoring researchers to elevate UX maturity within organizations. Whether through research readouts or design sprints, I consistently advocate for user needs to drive meaningful outcomes. I regularly support junior and senior UXR peers in advocating for users and conducting high-impact research across functions.Currently open to both full-time and contract opportunities—with a strong interest in embedded, long-term roles where I can drive strategic product impact, especially at the intersection of AI/ML and human-centered design.Specialties: quantitative researcher, surveys, ethnographic research, concept/usability testing, statistical analysis, interviews, diary studies, collaboration, impact, AI/LLM powered interfaces researchTools: Python, MySQL, R, dScout, UserTesting, Qualtrics, Lookback
