About Sumaiya Hasan

Based in San Francisco, Sumaiya Hasan serves as an uX Research Lead with Adobe, specialising in software systems and computation.

After strong results in her Cambridge examinations, she completed a BSc Cognitive Science at Stanford University, where her interest in technology deepened. Her first professional post as an uX Researcher opened the door to an international career, and she has since built a reputation for rigour and clarity.

For Sumaiya, the through-line is simple: the discipline of mathematics learned at school remains the sharpest tool she owns.

In Their Words

“Good research design is hypothesis testing with empathy.”— Sumaiya Hasan

A Journey That Began in the Classroom

Sumaiya studied Cambridge mathematics with Jahangir Sir in Chattogram, where the habit of understanding before memorising first took root. This sample text should be replaced with the real story of the student's time at The Mathematica.
