Ph.D. Scholarship in biometrics, security and privacy (Switzerland)


The starting date is immediate with competitive salary. The research is part of a new project “Next-generation smartcard-based biometric authentication” funded by the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation for a maximum of three years.

The research work aims at bridging the gap between academic research in the area of biometric identity verification and industrial needs in smartcard-based security systems. The main research direction of the proposed project is to create a common, scientifically founded methodology for combining fingerprint biometrics with cryptographic techniques in next generation smart cards using match-on-card (MoC) and match-on-device (MoD), in particular, a development of new algorithms for privacy-preserving biometric identity solutions, including revocability of the fingerprint data.


The candidates, with a university degree, are expected to have good knowledge of statistical signal processing and pattern recognition, particularly in the domain of biometrics, and have a sound experience in programming. A working knowledge of English is required.

Interested candidates are invited to send a CV (including contact information of two references), grades of all university classes and a one page statement of their background, motivation and interests in research as soon as possible to: Dr. Andrzej Drygajlo, EPFL-STI-IEL-LIDIAP, ELD 230, Station 11, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, e-mail: andrzej.drygajlo@epfl.ch .
