About
Youngjae Chang is a human-computer interaction researcher whose work explores the emotional and experiential gaps in remote communication, particularly for work-separated families. His most-cited paper, "My Being to Your Place, Your Being to My Place" (2018, 26 citations), critically examines how even advanced face-to-face communication services fail to replicate the richness of co-located living. Rather than focusing on technical fidelity, Chang envisions new interaction paradigms that enable a deeper sense of shared presence and mutual embodiment across distance. His research sits at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, telepresence, and intimate media, challenging the field to move beyond screen-based solutions toward more holistic, place-sharing experiences. Though early in his career, Chang's work has already sparked important conversations about the design of technology for emotional connection, earning recognition for its thoughtful, human-centered approach. His contributions are particularly timely as remote work and distributed family life become increasingly common, positioning him as a rising voice in reimagining how we truly "be together" apart.
