I/UCRC: Identification Technology Research (CITeR) - UB Site

识别技术研究中心（CITeR） 1266183；提议的地点是布法罗的纽约州立大学，要求为鉴定研究中心（CITeR）建立一个合作地点提供资金，该中心目前由克拉克森大学（牵头机构）、西弗吉尼亚大学和亚利桑那大学作为研究伙伴组成。拟议中的站点将通过将模式识别和机器学习算法与传感器技术相结合，推进民用和国土安全应用的生物识别技术科学。纽约州立大学布法罗分校将汇集教师的专业知识，不仅包括指纹和面部识别等核心生物识别模式，以及性别、年龄、举止和情感等软生物识别技术，还包括高级计算机视觉、机器人技术、密码学和理论计算机科学等相关领域，这些领域将使CITeR能够从事创新生物识别应用开发方面的研究。CITeR附属机构也将受益于能够对各种硬和软生物识别技术在实际应用中的有效性进行基准测试和评估。拟议中的基地在化学、物理和光学方面的师资力量也将帮助CITeR追求新的调节，如气味生物识别和更好的传感器，以协助识别技术。拟议的站点将进一步实现CITeR作为一个综合性学术中心的目标，为日益增长的识别技术研究、本科和研究生教育以及公共和私营部门的外展需求提供服务。这将通过提供一种机制来资助汇集跨学科的教师和学生人才，以解决识别技术方面的挑战。在布法罗地区少数民族工程意识（BEAM）的支持下，拟议的场地计划通过围绕生物识别应用程序建立的创新活动，包括寻宝和其他有趣的元素，吸引当地高中生和本科生的参与，以教育和吸引他们对STEM领域的兴趣。纽约州立大学布法罗分校的教师是NSF-AGEP（研究生教育和教授联盟）项目的成员，该项目的目标是显著增加在STEM领域获得研究生学位的少数族裔人数。CITeR会议也将为学生提供与潜在雇主互动的绝佳机会，以了解该领域的挑战。

Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) 1266183 SUNY at Buffalo; Venugopal Govindaraju The proposed site, SUNY at Buffalo, requests funding to establish a partner site of the Center for Identification Research (CITeR) currently comprised of the Clarkson University (lead institution), West Virginia University and the University of Arizona as research partners. The proposed site will advance the science of biometric technologies for both civilian and homeland security applications by integrating pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms with sensors technology. SUNY at Buffalo site will bring together faculty expertise, not only in core biometric modalities such as fingerprints and face recognition, and soft biometrics such as gender, age, mannerisms, and emotion, but also in related areas such as advanced computer vision, robotics, cryptography, and theoretical computer science that will allow CITeR to pursue research in the development of innovative biometric applications. CITeR affiliates will also benefit from being able to benchmark and assess the effectiveness of various hard and soft biometric technologies in real applications. The proposed site's faculty strength in Chemistry, Physics and Optics will also help CITeR pursue novel modulaties such as odor biometrics and better sensors to assist in identification technologies. The proposed site will further CITeR's objective to serve as a comprehensive academic center serving the growing identification technology research, undergraduate and graduate education, and outreach needs of the public and private sectors. This will be accomplished by providing a mechanism for the funding of pooled interdisciplinary faculty and student talent to address the challenges in identification technology. Under the auspices of BEAM (Buffalo Area Engineering Awareness for Minorities) the proposed site plans to attract the participation of local high school and undergraduate students using innovative events built around biometrics applications that incorporate treasure hunts and other fun elements to educate and interest them in STEM areas. The faculty at SUNY Buffalo are members of the NSF-AGEP (The Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) program whose goal is to significantly increase the number of underrepresented minorities obtaining graduate degrees in STEM areas. CITeR meetings will also serve as an excellent opportunity for students to interact with potential employers to understand challenges in the field.
