Engineering professor named IEEE fellow

Congratulations to Professor Flynn for being named a fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his contributions to biometric identification!

"A  faculty member since 2001, Flynn’s interests include computer vision, biometrics and 3D sensing and modeling. He directs the biometrics research group with Kevin W. Bowyer, the Schubmehl-Prein Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Flynn, his students and collaborators have been researching the feasibility of image-based biometrics and multi-biometrics since 2001.
Federal agencies have frequently used the Notre Dame biometrics research group’s expertise to obtain objective analysis of commercial biometrics technologies.

In addition to this most recent honor, Flynn is a fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition, a distinguished member of the Association for Computing Machinery, a member of the American Society for Engineering Education, and an associate member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the International Association for Identification. He has also received numerous teaching awards throughout his career.

He joins several other Notre Dame faculty who have been named IEEE fellow, including: Panos Antsaklis, Peter Bauer, Gary H. Bernstein, Kevin Bowyer, Daniel J. Costello Jr., Thomas Fuja, Yih-Fang Huang, Peter M. Kogge, Ruey-Wen Liu, James L. Merz, Anthony Michel, Wolfgang Porod and Alan Seabaugh."
