The European Association for Biometrics (EAB) awarded three young researchers for their outstanding work in the area of biometrics on 25 September 2024 during the 18th edition of the European Biometrics Awards. An international jury comprised of 13 members selected three candidates to present their contributions in front of the jury, EAB members and a public audience during a hybrid meeting. The three finalists were selected from a broad range of high-quality submissions.

The winner of the Industry Award was Amina Bassit, from the University of Twente (Netherlands), for her Ph.D. dissertation „Fast and Accurate Biometric Search under Encryption”. Amina was co-supervised by Prof. Peter (University of Oldenburg), Prof. Veldhuis und Dr. Hahn (both University of Twente, Netherlands). EAB members can find summaries of the theses of the winners in the Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to Amina for this achievement!
