Hi, I’m Gian-Luca
I am a quantitative UX researcher in Human-Computer Interaction with a focus on user behavior analysis. I am passionate about digging into data, uncovering relationships, and analyzing usage patterns to derive actionable insights. I have experience working with large datasets of purely quantitative data, as well as mixed datasets combining qualitative and quantitative user data.

Navigation devices have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives. What many people do not know, however, is that GPS & Co can also have negative side effects on both an individual and societal level. Prof. Dr. Johannes Schöning and Dr. Gian-Luca Savino from the School of Computer Science of the HSG have initiated a research project on this topic supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
As-the-crow-flies (ATCF) navigation for cyclists, utilizing a direct beeline route, has been impaired by issues such as dead ends. Investigating street network attributes across 1633 cities, we find ideal ATCF environments feature long streets and numerous turning options, predominantly in East Asia and North America. Contrastingly, past ATCF studies, primarily in less-suited Western Europe, influence our design implications and encourage research diversification in various geographical contexts.
