Kaiwen Sun studies how people—especially children and families—interact with technologies such as smart home devices and AI systems. The research focuses on designing these technologies in ways that involve families in the design process and that address concerns about children's safety, privacy, and engagement. It combines human-computer interaction methods with attention to security, privacy, and the needs of different age groups.
Publication activity has grown over the last decade, with a notable increase from 2023 onward.
