Niklas Elmqvist was honored for his contributions to ubiquitous, immersive, and human-centered AI technologies for data visualization. Susanne Bødker was honored for her contributions to participatory design, computer-supported collaborative work, and human-computer interaction.

The ACM Fellows Program is one of the most prestigious recognition initiatives by the Association for Computing Machinery. It honors leading professionals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of computing as a science and profession. ACM Fellows represent less than 1% of ACM's global membership, highlighting the exclusivity and prestige of this honor.

Niklas’ research focuses on the intersection of data visualization and human-computer interaction (HCI), but his research interests span ubiquitous analytics, accessible data visualization, human-AI/ML teaming, and visual analytics. He currently serves as the director of the Center for Anytime Anywhere Analytics (CA³), a research center on Augmented and Extended Reality (AR/XR) for data visualization, funded by the Villum Foundation.

Susanne Bødker is renowned for her pioneering work in participatory design and human-computer interaction. Her research has had a transformative impact on how users interact with technology in collaborative settings. She has been a trailblazer in computer-supported collaborative work, ensuring technology is designed with and for its users.

In total, ACM has named 55 Fellows for transformative contributions to computing science and technology. All the 2024 inductees are longstanding ACM Members whose accomplishments were selected by their peers for making possible the computing technologies we use every day.
