Hi! I‘m Katerina Batziakoudi

Data Visualization Researcher

I’m currently based in Paris, doing an industrial PhD in Computer Science with the AVIZ team at Inria and Berger-Levrault, supervised by Jean-Daniel Fekete.

My research focuses on developing visualizations that help the public interpret complex datasets, such as national budgets and environmental reports.

I hold a double Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Université Paris-Saclay . Before that, I studied Management Science and Technology specializing in Data Science and Software Engineering at the Athens University of Economics and Business .
