AI for Biometric Systems: Techniques, Applications, and Ethics (EN.520.612/EN.520.412)

I created the course AI for Biometric Systems: Techniques, Applications, and Ethics for grad and undergrad students of the ECE department in the Spring 2025. This course will included 3 teaching periods per week to 10 students, for a total of 3 credits for the attendees.

Course Description:

The proposed course, AI and Biometric Systems: Techniques, Applications, and Ethics, offers an in-depth exploration of both traditional and biometric authentication techniques, with an emphasis on their use in commercial and forensic applications. Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, this course will cover behavioral and physiological biometric systems while tackling these technologies’ complex legal, ethical, and moral considerations.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, students will:

• Understand basic authentication methods and their security implications.
• Know the difference and be able to implement both behavioral and physiological biometric systems for authentication and identification.
• Analyze the application of biometrics in commercial and forensic fields.
• Gain awareness of biometric technologies’ legal, ethical, and moral considerations.

This course will be revised and continued in the Spring 2026.
