About
Seungah Suh is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable construction and robotic automation in the built environment. Her work centers on the critical intersection of deconstruction, resource recovery, and circular economy principles, with a particular focus on how robotics can transform end-of-life building processes. In her highly cited 2024 paper, “Assessing the Viability of Robotic Disassembly of Building Components for Resource Recovery,” Suh and her co-authors pioneered a framework for evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of using robotic systems to selectively dismantle structures rather than demolish them. This contribution directly addresses one of the construction industry’s most pressing challenges: reducing the massive waste stream from demolition while enabling high-quality material reuse. Though early in her career, Suh’s work has already garnered attention for its practical, data-driven approach to automating disassembly workflows, with implications for both reducing carbon emissions and preserving embodied energy in building materials. Her research promises to shape how future buildings are designed for deconstruction and how robotic technologies can be deployed to close material loops in the construction sector.
