I was a member of the Indian Biometrics Standards Committee for e-gov applications. I also served as a member of the UIDAI's Biometrics Standard Subcommittee member (face, fingerprint, and iris standards). I also served as the Vice President (Publications) for IEEE Biometrics Council where I started IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior and Identity Science .

My current areas of interest are biometrics, image processing, machine learning, deep learning, image forensics, and information fusion.
