Chiara Galdi received her joint supervision PhD from the University of Salerno and from Telecom ParisTech in 2016. Her thesis work on Signal and Image processing was undertaken at University of Salerno between 2013 and 2014 (18 months) and at EURECOM in Sophia Antipolis between 2014 and 2015 (18 months). She is now a research associate at EURECOM. Her current work focuses in the domain of biometrics, in particular on biometric recognition on mobile devices, noisy iris recognition, multi-biometric and multi-modal authentication systems, gaze analysis, and soft biometrics (e.g. gender and age classification, makeup detection), but also in the domain of image forensics, including source digital camera identification. She has been awarded with the PhD Thesis Award 2015-2016 assigned by the IEEE Italy Section Biometrics Council Chapter. In September 2016, she obtained the European Biometrics Industry Award for her work titled “Combining lris and Sensor Recognition on Mobile Phones”. In 2014, she was in the Organizing Committee of the Mobile Iris Challenge Evaluation - Part I (MICHE I). Dr. Galdi was part of the Program Committee of the 2nd International Workshop “Insight on Eye Biometrics” held in November 23-27 2015, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2018, Chiara Galdi was one of the organizers of the BTAS 2018 Special Session on Recent Advances in Biometric Technology for Mobile Devices (RABTMD 2018). In 2022 she was co-organizer of the EUVIP 2022 special session on “Biometric Recognition Explainability”. Her volunteer work also includes being reviewer for several conferences and journals as well as guest editor for MTAP and for a special issue on JImaging. She is currently a member of the Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee.
