Research:  I work in the general area of Pattern Recognition & Computer Vision. My current research interests are the following:

Biometrics:

Online, offline signature verification (our system has won the first place at the 1st International Signature Verification Competition, SVC 2004). Fingerprint verification;  Biometric Cryptosystems; Privacy in biometrics.

Handwriting Recognition & Document Analysis:

Online and offline handwriting recognition; Document segmentation and layout analysis.

Computational Biology:

Computational approaches to protein folding problem.

1994-1996
