Biography
Dr. Yanushkevich directs the Biometric Technologies Laboratory, in the Schulich School of Engineering (SSE) at the University of Calgary (UofC). Dr. Yanushkevich’s team is developing novel decision support and risk assessment strategies based on machine reasoning, with applications to biometric-enabled access control (risk assessment of misidentification) and healthcare monitoring systems (gait abnormalities detection, action/activity recognition, face attribute analysis). Dr. Yanushkevich chaired the Biometric Taskforce in the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society in 2017-2020, and currently is a vice-chair of this Task Force, and a member of the Intelligent Systems Applications Technical Committee.
