Postdoctoral Position - Eye Movement Biometrics

JOB DESCRIPTION

Postdoctoral position is under supervision of Dr. Komogortsev.

Duties and Responsibilities: assist with research associated with improving the state of the art in the eye movement biometrics domain. That will include improving the biometrics accuracy of the technology and working on its counterfeit resistance. The work will also include aspects of health monitoring including detection of such events as concussion and fatigue. The assignments might involve working with various oculomotor plant models and representations of the brain activity that can be extracted from the eye movement signals. The work will entail mathematical modeling, coding, and conducting user studies, and publishing research outcomes. Special emphasis would be put on incorporating eye movement-driven biometrics methods into wearable mobile devices such as Google Glass.
