Activities and Curriculum Vitæ

Sonia Garcia-Salicetti received a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree in Mathematics from Universidad Central de Venezuela (Caracas, Venezuela) in 1987, a « Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies » (French one-year Master) in Statistics and Stochastic Models (« Statistique et Modèles Stochastiques ») from Université de Paris-Sud (Orsay, France) in 1988, a « Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies » in Epistemology from Université de Paris 7 (Paris, France) in 1991, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France) in December 1996. Her Ph.D. thesis was focused on a Neuro-Markovian Hybrid Model Applied to On-line Handwriting Recognition. In September 1997, she joined the « Reconnaissance des Formes et Vision » Laboratory at Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA de Lyon) as an Associate Professor (« Maître de Conférences »). In March 2001, she joined the Institut National des Télécommunications (INT) at the Electronics and Physics department (EPH) as an Associate Professor in the Multimedia Interactions Group (Intermedia).

Her research interests are focused on Signal and Image processing, Pattern Recognition and Biometric authentication (On-line Signature, Iris, Multialgorithmic and Multimodal Fusion, particularly in mobility conditions). She has been the leader of French national projects on Biometric authentication, and is actively involved in European projects dealing with Biometrics e.g., IST-2002 506883 SecurePhone (« Secure Contracts signed by Mobile Phone » on multimodal biometric verification via a PDA/Smartphone by on-line signature, voice and face ( http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/projects/SecurePhone/ and http://www.secure-phone.info/)) and BioSecure Network of Excellence ( http://www.biosecure.info/ ).

Her teaching activities include the creation and coordination of a Master of Science program entitled “Automatic Data Processing” (http://www.telecomint.eu/en/msc/index_ADP.php) at Télécom INT.
