Narges Mahyar is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at City St George’s, University of London, and a 2024–2025 Harvard Radcliffe Fellow.
Her research sits at the intersection of data visualization, human–computer interaction, social computing, AI, and design. She develops
human-centered visualization systems that help people make sense of complex data, communicate uncertainty, and participate more meaningfully in decisions that affect their lives.
Her work spans climate communication, public engagement, health, accessibility, civic decision-making, and creative data experiences. Narges has supervised and mentored 66 students, including many undergraduates and students from underrepresented groups, and several of her students have published at leading HCI and visualization venues.
Her research has received nine Best Paper and Honorable Mention awards at top venues including CHI, CSCW, DIS, EuroVis, ISS, and IEEE VAST. She welcomes students interested in socially impactful, inclusive, creative, and community-centered visualization research.
