Why Sensor Research Matters: Smart Devices & Privacy | Dr. Jun Han

Can your phone, laptop, smartwatch, or robot vacuum reveal more about you than you realize? In this episode of Why Research Matters, Dr. Varunika Goyal speaks with Dr. Jun Han, Associate Professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and head of the Sensing Intelligence and Cyber-Physical Security Lab. His research explores how everyday sensors can capture hidden signals, reconstruct private information, and create new cybersecurity and privacy risks. We discuss smartphone sensors, counterfeit product detection, robot vacuum LiDAR, microphone privacy, voice deepfakes, camera fingerprints, keyboard vibrations, smart home devices, and why cybersecurity researchers study potential attacks before they happen in the real world.
