Biometrics researcher, Marios Savvides of Carnegie Mellon University’s CyLab, has been chosen as one of four researchers to join the new Center for Academic Studies in Identity Sciences (CASIS). CASIS will be working to provide the biometric community with solutions to top security and identity issues.
Some of the work Savvides had been involved in that made him eligible for the appointment was the development of algorithms to create three-dimensional facial models from two-dimensional samples as well as technology to better use the anatomy of the human iris to find matches in a biometric system despite issues with partial images.
Savvides will be joining colleagues from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Clemson University and North Carolina A&T State University at the new center. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
