About

Sibin Mohan’s research lies at the intersection of cybersecurity, embedded systems, and cyber-physical systems, with a focus on securing critical infrastructure against emerging threats. His work on PIRMedic (2021) exemplifies his innovative approach to hardware security, demonstrating how passive infrared sensors—ubiquitous in smart buildings, security alarms, and search-and-rescue robots—can be exploited as covert channels for data exfiltration. This contribution, while early in its citation impact, highlights his ability to identify vulnerabilities in widely deployed technologies, bridging the gap between theoretical security analysis and real-world system design. Mohan’s broader portfolio addresses real-time systems, trusted execution environments, and resilience in autonomous systems, often collaborating with government and industry partners. His research has been recognized with best paper awards and funding from agencies like NSF and DARPA. For students and researchers, Mohan’s work serves as a compelling case study in how seemingly innocuous components can become vectors for attack, urging a holistic view of security in the Internet of Things era.
