Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Huron is an interdisciplinary associate professor and designer-researcher with 15+ years bridging interaction design, HCI, and data visualization, currently leading research and international programs at Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Télécom Paris. His award-winning doctoral work on Constructive Visualization and a postdoc with Sheelagh Carpendale underpin a practice that fuses physical, craft-driven data representation with critical inquiry into the social and environmental impacts of digital systems. He co-edited Making with Data and co-chairs major research axes and seminars that shape theory and practice across European and Chinese partner institutions. Formerly a lead designer at the Pompidou-linked IRI and founder of a digital studio, he brings rare experience translating philosophical and cultural critique into deployable interactive systems. Not obvious at first glance: his background spans both MFA-level art practice and rigorous computer science, enabling him to prototype tangible visualization artifacts while publishing at top-tier scientific venues.
