Bio

My research advances secure contactless fingerprint authentication by developing robust Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) algorithms. I apply Computer Vision and Deep Learning to improve PAD resilience under diverse conditions, focusing on defenses against spoofing, adversarial attacks, and privacy threats like model inversion. I also explore machine unlearning to support data compliance and right-to-forget principles, while enhancing PAD interpretability to ensure fairness and trust in biometric systems.
