Simon Perrault is a full professor at Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique in France since November 2025. Before that, he was an assistant professor at SUTD (Singapore) between January 2019 and November 2025, as well as a visiting professor at KAIST (Korea) in 2018 and an assistant professor at Yale-NUS college (Singapore) between 2015 and 2018.
He received his PhD in Computer Science from Télécom Paris (France) in April 2013, and joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) in December 2013 as a post-doctoral researcher.
As a researcher, he has served (or currently serve) as an Associate Chair for most major SIGCHI Conferences (CHI, CSCW) and have been chairing for many other venues (SIGGRAPH Asia, Mobile HCI, ISS, etc…).
Research activities
His research interest is in the area of Human Computer Interaction and Human AI Collaboration. He is currently interested in understanding how users interact with online content, such as social media. More specifically, he focuses on helping users identify potentially harmful content, such as misinformation, while also supporting them when they write their own content through self-reflection.
To do so, he develops systems that leverage Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models and Large Multimodal Models and Interface Design. A crucial aspect of the work is to provide assistance without forcing it or letting the AI take over for the user
He is also interested in Information Visualization for Spatial Data (cartograms) and AI-powered systems to support Collaborative Qualitative Analysis.
In the past, He also worked on designing new interaction techniques for Mobile and Wearable computers.
Teaching activities
Simon Perrault has taught at Télécom Paris, SUTD, NUS and Yale-NUS. He teaches many computer science subjects, including HCI, programming, software engineering, web development and operating systems.
