Giving guest lectures in the program and serving on the Professional Advisory Council for the past few years allowed me to see first hand how great the students in the program are. I was incredibly impressed by their knowledge and dedication, and I realized I wanted to help prepare some of these students to become future colleagues of mine in the exciting field of UX research.

What drew you to teach at MAPP?

Dr. Jason Buhle is the Director of UX Strategy at AnswerLab and has over 15 years of experience conducting academic and UX research for companies across the world. He has a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Columbia University. Dr. Buhle teaches User Experience Research in the MAPP program.

I have two primary goals in this course: to give students lots of practice conducting and presenting UX research and to provide them with the opportunities to learn from top practitioners in the field.

course? “

As an academic researcher in the field of cognitive neuroscience, I learned to carefully craft research questions, analyze complex data, and present results as narratives that are clear and compelling. As a professional, I’ve learned to apply these techniques to business questions in the most demanding UX research environments. My diverse background allows me to merge in my teaching the rigor and passion of academia with the speed and focus of business.
