About
Bongwon Suh is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on computer-mediated communication and social computing. His work explores how technology can bridge emotional and physical distances, especially within families separated by geography. Suh’s most cited paper, “I feel being there, they feel being together: Exploring How Telepresence Robots Facilitate Long-Distance Family Communication” (2024, 16 citations), investigates how telepresence robots create a richer sense of co-presence than traditional tools like video calls. By enabling more natural movement and shared spatial awareness, his research shows that these robots help families feel “being there” and “being together,” transforming remote interaction into a more embodied, emotionally resonant experience. This contribution is particularly significant in an era of increasing global mobility and remote work. Suh’s work has been recognized for its practical implications, offering design insights for future communication technologies that prioritize emotional connection over mere information exchange. His findings are widely cited by researchers in CSCW and HCI, and he continues to shape how we understand and design for mediated togetherness.
