Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Identification Technology Research

克拉克森大学克拉克森大学(CU)计划加入名为“识别技术研究中心(CITER)”的工业/大学合作研究中心(I/UCRC)，该中心目前是由西弗吉尼亚大学(牵头机构)和亚利桑那大学组成的多所大学中心。CITER专注于身份识别方面的研究，包括虹膜、指纹和人脸识别，并帮助增强与安全生物识别技术相关学科可用的研究数据库。科罗拉多州立大学申请资助成为斯蒂芬妮·舒克斯教授领导下的NSF身份识别技术研究中心。克拉克森大学将帮助扩大Citer对身份管理的关注，包括将人类身份识别与情报和网络安全相结合的核心专业知识。新兴的研究领域包括如何将身份信息与收集的其他信息联系起来，这些信息包括人、地点、活动模式、关系、地理空间映射、事件和信号情报。Citer的研究将帮助行业和政府机构推进生物识别技术，这对阻止恐怖主义具有广泛的影响。该中心还将通过与行业成员的参与，对参与的学生和教职员工产生影响。学生们将接受实践培训，为毕业后在该行业从事高科技工作做好准备。教职员工将接触到面向行业的研究问题。克拉克森网站计划与McNair和CSTEP项目合作，鼓励学生在这个充满活力的领域发挥积极作用。

IIP 0968977Clarkson UniversityShuckersClarkson University (CU) is planning to join the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR)" which currently is a multi- university center comprised of West Virginia University (lead institution) and the University of Arizona. CITeR focuses on research in identification which includes iris, fingerprint, and face recognition and helps enhance the research database available for the disciplines involved with security biometrics technologies. CU requests funding for becoming a site of the NSF Center for Identification Technology Research under the leadership of Professor Stephanie Shuckers. Clarkson University will help expand CiTER's focus on identity management to include a core of expertise that marries human identification with intelligence and cybersecurity. Emerging areas of research include how to contextualize the identity information with other information collected which includes people, places, patterns of activities, relationships, geospatial mapping, events, and signal intelligence. CITeR's research will assist industry and governmental agencies in advancing biometric technology which has broad impacts on stopping terrorism. This center will also have an impact on the participating students, and faculty through involvement with industrial members. Students will obtain hands on training to prepare them for high-tech jobs in the industry upon graduation. Faculty will get an exposure to industry-oriented research problems. The Clarkson site plans to work with McNair and CSTEP programs to encourage students to be active in this vibrant area.
