About

Dr. Sébastien Marcel is a Senior Researcher and Head of the Biometrics Security and Privacy Group at the Idiap Research Institute Martigny Switzerland. He was the Project Coordinator of the EC-funded TABULA RASA (Trusted Biometrics under Spoofing Attacks) and BEAT (Biometrics Evaluation and Testing) projects. He is also the Director of the Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and Testing a Lecturer at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Université de Lausanne (UNIL) and Vice-President Conferences of the IEEE Biometrics Council. Prof. Mark S. Nixon is a Professor of Computer Vision in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton UK. He is a co-author of the Springer book Human Identification Based on Gait. He pioneered gait as a biometric and later joined the pioneers of ear and of soft biometrics. He has worked with many international projects and conferences. He is the currentPresident of the IEEE Biometrics Council Vice Chair IEEE PSPB and a member of IAPR TC4 Biometrics. Prof. Julian Fierrez is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering (EPS) at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) Spain. He is Vice-Chair of the IAPR Technical Committee on Biometrics (TC4) has participated in large EU projects focused on biometrics since 2003 (most notably BIOSEC BIOSECURE TABULA RASA and BEAT) and has received a number of best paper awards and other prestigious research distinctions including the IAPR Young Biometrics Investigator Award 2017. Prof. Nicholas Evans is an Associate Professor at EURECOM Biot France where he heads research in Speech and Audio Processing with the Digital Security Department. He led or co-led a number of recent special issues related to anti-spoofing participated in the EU BIOSECURE TABULA RASA and OCTAVE projects and is among the co-founders of the ASVspoof initiative and challenge series.
