Dr. Claus Vielhauer

Claus Vielhauer is a senior researcher at Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany, where he has joined the department of computer science in 2003 as the leader of the biometrics research group, as part of the Advanced Multimedia and Security Lab (AMSL). In addition, he has been working for the Multimedia Communications Lab (KOM) of Technical University Darmstadt, Germany, from 1999 to 2004, from where he also received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in biometrics with specialization in multimodal and behavioral-based recognition, biometric cryptography and applications of biometrics to multimedia, as well as Human-to-Computer Interaction (HCI). Additionally, he is elaborating methods of adopting similarity measurements and classification methods from biometric user authentication to related IT security problems such as digital watermarking, steganography or IT forensics. He has a great number of international publications in the areas of biometric signal processing, pattern recognition and multimedia security. Furthermore, he is member of program committees of several international conferences, e.g. ICME, SPIE EI Security, Steganography and Watermarking of Multimedia Contents, IAPR ICB (former ICBA). Further, he is a reviewer for renowned journals such as ACM Multimedia System Journal, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Pattern Analysis and Applications Journal and Pattern Recognition Letters. Dr. Vielhauer has been co-organizing numerous conferences, special sessions, workshops and tutorials, for example special sessions on biometrics at IEEE ICME 2002 and 2003, the 2004 IEEE Workshop „Biometric challenges: Migrating from theory to practice“ and the ACM Multimedia and Security Workshop in 2004.
