Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlireza Karduni is an Assistant Professor of Human-Centred Computing at Simon Fraser University who blends visualization, HCI, and urban planning to design interactive tools that help people interpret complex information ecosystems. With a decade of experience spanning academia, industry design practice at IDEO, and policy-focused roles in Chicago, he studies how social and political priors shape receptivity to (mis)information and how those dynamics play out across virtual and physical spaces. His work bridges disciplines—resulting in a book on social media and the city and publications in CHI and IEEE VIS—while emphasizing practical design collaborations with nonprofits and firms. Trained in urban planning, architecture, and computing (PhD, UNC Charlotte), he brings geospatial thinking and visual analytics to questions of trust, equity, and civic technology. Less obvious is his progression from hands-on GIS and neighborhood planning to leading computational social science efforts that translate research into design interventions.
