Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Identification Technology Research

密歇根州立大学(MSU)提议加入现有的身份识别技术研究中心(CITER)作为大学网站。这一补充将扩大CITER的研究组合，并带来新的附属公司，它们的合作伙伴关系将有助于推动识别技术的前沿。这一扩展的合作框架将扩大CITeRS在将生物测定研究转化为实践方面的领导作用，同时影响因使用这项技术而产生的社会法律政策。生物识别是一门根据个人的物理、行为和生理属性(如指纹、虹膜、声音和步态)自动识别个人的科学。作为一门学科，生物识别涉及工程学、统计学、数学、生物学、物理学、法学和计算社会学等多个领域。作为一项技术，生物识别技术在网络安全、执法、监控、取证、多媒体、移动设备和医疗保健等领域都有应用。虽然该领域在过去20年中已显著成熟，但仍有几个根本问题有待解决。需要一个协调一致的研究、教育和行业参与模式，以便有效地利用和部署生物识别解决方案，以造福于整个社会。密歇根州立大学I/UCRC网站提议将网络安全、移动计算、基因组学和大数据领域的教职员工和附属机构包括在内。规划会议的目标将是制定一个研究路线图，让密歇根州立大学教职员工的研究专业知识进一步促进CITER的社会和技术影响，同时满足附属公司的需求。MSU在DNA处理、法医分析、云计算、深度学习和数据挖掘方面的专业知识将用于设计下一代身份识别系统，重点是快速DNA识别、法医数据分析、基于云的生物识别、基因组学和大规模生物识别分析。数据安全和隐私将是这项研究议程中不可或缺的组成部分，并将使身份管理、医疗保健、访问控制、个性化、取证、计算机安全、国家安全和基因组分析领域的附属公司受益。研究生和本科生研究人员的积极参与将确保发展一支强大的生物识别劳动力队伍，由未来的领导者、远见卓识者、研究人员、专业人员和技术人员组成。与其他领域的专家合作，如取证、生物信息学、健康科学和网络安全，将扩大生物识别的影响领域，同时为跨学科研究和教育创造新的机会。网站负责人将与密歇根州立大学现有的项目联系起来，如ADAPP(通过政策和实践的一致性促进多样性)和密歇根州立大学WIC(妇女参与计算)，以促进代表不足的群体参与STEM研究和教育。在CITER进行的研究将通过密歇根州立大学科学、工程和技术日、密歇根大学工程学院设计日和密歇根大学CSE研究开放日等社区活动向中学生和高中生展示。

Michigan State University (MSU) proposes to join the existing Center for Identification Technology Research (CITeR) as a university site. This addition will expand the research portfolio of CITeR as well as bring new affiliates whose partnership will be instrumental in furthering the frontiers of identification technology. This extended collaboration framework will broaden CITeRs leadership role in transitioning biometric research into practice while influencing socio-legal policies emerging from the use of this technology. Biometrics is the science of automatically recognizing individuals based on their physical, behavioral and physiological attributes such as fingerprints, iris, voice, and gait. As a discipline, biometrics relies on several fields including engineering, statistics, mathematics, biology, physics, jurisprudence, and computational sociology. As a technology, biometrics has applications in cyber-security, law enforcement, surveillance, forensics, multimedia, mobile devices, and healthcare. While the field has significantly matured over the past two decades, several fundamental problems are yet to be addressed. A concerted research, education, and industry-engagement model is needed to effectively leverage and deploy biometric solutions for the benefit of society at large. MSU I/UCRC site proposes to include faculty and affiliates in the areas of cyber security, mobile computing, genomics and big data. The goal of the planning meeting will be to formulate a research roadmap for engaging the research expertise of MSU faculty in furthering the societal and technological impact of CITeR while simultaneously addressing the needs of the affiliates. MSUs expertise in DNA processing, forensic analysis, cloud computing, deep learning and data mining will be used to design next generation identification systems focusing on rapid DNA identification, forensic data analysis, cloud-based biometrics, genomics, and large-scale biometric analytics. Data security and privacy will be an integral component of this research agenda and will benefit affiliates in the field of identity management, healthcare, access control, personalization, forensics, computer security, national security, and genomic analysis. The active involvement of graduate and undergraduate researchers will ensure the development of a strong biometric workforce consisting of future leaders, visionaries, researchers, professionals, and technicians. Collaboration with experts from other fields such as forensics, bioinformatics, health science and cybersecurity will expand the domain-of-influence of biometrics whilst creating novel opportunities for inter-disciplinary research and education. The site directors will connect with existing programs in MSU such as ADAPP (Advancing Diversity through the Alignment of Policies and Practices) and MSU WIC (Women in Computing) in order to promote the involvement of underrepresented groups in STEM research and education. The research conducted in CITeR will be showcased to middle school and high school students through community activities such as MSU Science, Engineering and Technology Day; MSU College of Engineering Design Day; and MSU CSE Research Open House.
