About
Hajin Lim is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in computer-mediated communication, social robotics, and telepresence technologies. Her work fundamentally explores how technology can bridge emotional and physical distances, particularly within family and workplace contexts. Lim’s most impactful contribution is her investigation into telepresence robots for long-distance family communication. Her paper, "I feel being there, they feel being together," which has garnered 16 citations, provides critical insights into how these robots can foster a shared sense of presence and emotional connection among geographically separated relatives, moving beyond the limitations of standard video calls. Additionally, Lim is pioneering the design of desktop companion robots for office environments. Her work, "Evaluating How Desktop Companion Robot Behaviors Influence Work Experience," examines how these robots can act as supportive "peers" to enhance worker well-being and productivity. Through her lab experiments, she is shaping the future of human-robot interaction in everyday settings, demonstrating a keen ability to design technology that feels both personal and profoundly connective.
