On 11 November 2026, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Delphine Reinhardt welcomed Kai Kunze to her Computer Security and Privacy Research Group at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Göttingen.
Her group works on usable privacy. It studies threats to privacy, makes users aware of them, develops countermeasures and gives people usable ways to protect their privacy. Its projects look at privacy around smart speakers, IoT devices, wearables and extended reality, at how older adults see service robots (PRIBONY), and at privacy-friendly telepresence avatars for sick schoolchildren (PRIVATAR).
At her invitation, Kai Kunze gave a research talk to the group on designing feedback loops between people and technology in the age of AI. The talk went from activity recognition and wearable sensing to physiological signals that audiences and performers share. Sensing that close to the body raises exactly the privacy questions Delphine Reinhardt’s group works on. Afterwards, Delphine Reinhardt, her team and Kai Kunze discussed the research network NaMeKi and other interests the two groups share.
Many thanks to Delphine Reinhardt and her group for the invitation and the warm welcome.
