Hello World! I’m Anushree — a UX Researcher simplifying complex technical workflows at MathWorks. I use a blend of my engineering and design skills to turn user problems into effective and technically feasible solutions.

Improving project management workflows for systems engineers
Current systems engineering project workflows are inefficient due to fragmented tooling, inadequate means of collaboration, and poor scalability. I am working with a team of developers to solve this issue by building a new tool for managing systems engineering projects. I supported the team in iteratively building the tool using data gathered from users at different stages — right from prioritizing requirements and target users through early user interviews, to getting the design right by conducting A/B & usability tests, to rolling out a post-release diary study to learn about onboarding sentiment.
Streamlining Roadrunner’s APIs and GUIs according to MathWorks UX standards
As a newly acquired tool, the Roadrunner GUI and APIs did not align with the experience of using existing MathWorks tools. This made it difficult for our veteran users to onboard onto it due to differences in UX patterns. To identify gaps in our users' mental models, I conducted usability tests in two areas: the Roadrunner canvas UI workflows and the API for integrating Roadrunner with our existing tools
Expanding the user base for Simulink 3D
Despite its powerful features and rich rendering capabilities, users weren't adopting Simulink 3D in their engineering workflows. They would end their projects by showcasing models in the default 2D representation created through Simulink models. I was tasked with helping the product team identify the current Simulink 3D user types and find areas of opportunity for expanding the product’s user base.
Enhancing the screen reader accessibility of MATLAB Online
As MATLAB grows, we need to ensure that it is accessible and user-friendly for everyone. I planned and conducted usability studies to understand where JAWS, NVDA, and Voiceover users face issues when trying to input and visualize data using MATLAB Online.
Exploring user expectations in new GenAI features
How do trust and transparency come into play when interacting with new Copilot products? What sort of information does a system need to be provided with to effectively aid an engineer in building models using our Copilot products? How can we improve the integration of different GenAI feature offerings to create a smooth user experience? These are some of the questions I am exploring by conducting concept tests with early designs of new GenAI features,
About Me
I started off my career as a software/ UX engineer at Helpshift, where I built design systems and features for their chatbots and dashboards. It was there that I discovered an interest in designing usable interfaces for humans. This interest propelled me to pursue a master’s in HCI at Carnegie Mellon University.
I’m currently working at MathWorks as a UX Researcher for automotive and systems engineering tools used by engineers all over the world.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, crafting, running (just ran 2 half marathons!) and exploring new pockets of Boston through early morning sunshine walks. :)
