Hi, I'm Arpit Narechania.

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at HKUST, where I direct the DataVisards research lab. We design and evaluate tools that help people collaborate with one another and with AI on data-driven analysis and decision-making, across domains.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, working with Alex Endert and the Georgia Tech Visualization Lab. My Ph.D. dissertation received the 2025 IEEE VGTC Visualization Dissertation Award.

I received my B.Tech. (B.S.) in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi, from where I received the 2020 Young Achiever Award for Professional Excellence as an alumnus.
