Hello, my name is Ricardo Prada. I'm a Silicon Valley psychologist making technology more humane. I've helped design offbeat things for Google, X, Verily, Waymo, and Boeing. (Opinions mine.)
Dr. Luis Ricardo Prada directs broad, multidisciplinary teams of scientists and designers, adapting future technologies to human needs and capabilities. Ricardo holds degrees in engineering psychology and human factors, and has worked in consumer electronics, VR/AR, web services, online ads, medical devices, operations, aerospace, machine learning, and ground transportation, including self-driving cars.
Many physicians forget that medicine is a social science.
