Background

About Ryan Stolier

I am a quantitative user researcher and data scientist with 15+ years of experience leading research into human behavior, technology, and product development. Currently, I am a Senior Quantitative User Experience Researcher with Google Search. Prior, I was a Staff Researcher & product-team lead on Meta's Trust & Safety team. I specialize in topics such as content, ranking, search, AI, growth, churn, safety, well-being, user controls and settings. My primary methods include surveys at various scales and log data, analyzed with a wide range of quantitative techniques from statistical modeling to machine-learning. Having served formally and informally across several functions, my expertise bridges user research, data science, product management and strategy, team leadership and cross-functional collaboration. My work in technology follows my prior career as an academic psychologist and neuroscientist specializing in social behavior, attitudes, cognition, and personality.
