About
Amanda Huynh is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, specializing in child-computer interaction, participatory design, and telepresence robotics. Her work addresses the critical challenge of enabling meaningful, collaborative design experiences for children in online and hybrid environments—a need amplified since the COVID-19 pandemic. Huynh’s major contributions include pioneering longitudinal studies of tabletop telepresence robots as tools for intergenerational co-design, demonstrating how these technologies can sustain engagement and creativity over time. Her most-cited paper, "Designing Together, Miles Apart" (2023, 15 citations), provides foundational insights into the dynamics of long-term online co-design with children, moving beyond short-term project snapshots. She has further explored children’s use of metaphor during robot-supported design sessions, revealing how young participants leverage imaginative language to shape collaborative processes. With a growing body of work that bridges technology, pedagogy, and child development, Huynh’s research is shaping the future of inclusive, remote design practices. Her achievements include peer-reviewed publications and a commitment to empowering children as co-designers, making her a notable voice in the evolution of participatory design for the digital age.
