OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Marta Gomez-Barrero received her MSc degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics, and her PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, in 2011 and 2016, respectively. Between 2016 and 2020 she was a postdoctoral researcher at the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity (ATHENE), Germany. Her current research focuses on security and privacy evaluations of biometric systems, Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) methodologies and biometric template protection schemes. She is the recipient of a number of distinctions, including: EAB European Biometric Industry Award 2015, Best Ph.D. Thesis Award by Universidad Autonoma de Madrid 2015/16, Siew-Sngiem Best Paper Award at ICB 2015, Archimedes Award for young researches from Spanish MECD and Best Poster Award at ICB 2013.
