MOBIO focused on mobile biometrics under realistic usage conditions, combining face and voice for authentication in noisy and unconstrained environments.
The project investigated robust face localisation, speech segmentation, video-based face authentication, speaker authentication, multimodal fusion, and unsupervised model adaptation over time. It also contributed a widely used multimodal database collected across multiple countries and sites, helping establish strong evaluation benchmarks for mobile biometric research.

and Privacy group and conducts research on face recognition, speaker
recognition, vein recognition, attack detection (presentation attacks,
morphing attacks, deepfakes) and template protection. He is also Professor at
the University de Lausanne (UNIL) at the School of Criminal Justice. He is
also the Director of the Swiss Center for Biometrics at Idiap, which conducts
certifications of biometric products. He was Associate Editor and Guest
Editor of IEEE journals (TBIOM, SPL, TIFS and SPM). He is also the lead
Editor of the Springer Handbook of Biometrics Anti-Spoofing (Editions 1, 2
and 3). Since June 2025 he is a member of the Idiap Direction ad interim.
