Bongwon Suh
Senior Research Scientist
Bongwon (서봉원) has been researching various aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI) for over 10 years, most recently with the goal of addressing issues around aggregation, organization, and mining of social media activities. His work involves statistical analyses of behavioral logging data on very large databases of social systems such as Wikipedia and Twitter.
Since Bongwon joined Adobe’s ATL in 2011, he has been working on various advanced analytics projects including social analytics, predictive analytics, and interactive visualizations of extracted metadata. His recent research focuses on statistical methods and systems to extract useful insight from large scale social media and web visit logs.
Prior to joining Adobe, Bongwon worked at Xerox PARC for six years performing a series of research on topics including social media systems, information visualization, sense-making interfaces, and web-scale data mining.
Dr. Suh obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland at College Park, M.Sc and B.A. from Seoul National University.
