Researchers needed a more efficient way to upload, organize, and review large experimental datasets. Existing workflows and tools made it difficult to access and analyze data quickly, slowing research and increasing the effort required to manage mission critical laser research.Problem
Guided by human-centered design principles, the product was shaped through user research, workflow analysis, and iterative prototyping to support the lifecycle of laser data. The research mapped end-to-end data validation and ownership transfer workflows, simplified security distribution labeling, and improved the information architecture for uploading, reviewing, and managing large datasets.Solution
Improved the efficiency and reliability of large-scale scientific data workflows by designing a secure, role-based platform for dataset upload and review. The solution reduced friction in navigating complex security distribution guidelines, clarified data ownership and transfer states, and defined validation workflows, enabling researchers to access and manage data with greater speed, accuracy, and compliance adherence.Result
