Research
I’m a PhD candidate on the topic of user control in AI interfaces. I surveyed 360 people across 46 countries and reviewed a decade of AI-UX research; the resulting papers are now under peer review at top HCI journals. The recurring finding: people want clarity, refinement tools, and better personalization - insight that shapes everything I design, including the product I lead, flero.ai.
This is the reading behind that work - every paper I’ve collected, mapped across five dimensions of AI-UX research. Browse by theme to see what each means, or switch the lens to read the papers as a grid. More about me at tanjaradovanovic.com.
