His research interests include information theoretic privacy and security, code design for secret key generation, statistical signal processing for biometric secrecy systems and physical unclonable functions (PUFs), differential privacy, and secure identification. Among his publications is the recent book Key Agreement with Physical Unclonable Functions and Biometric Identifiers published by Dr. Hut Verlag. He organized the Munich Workshop on Physical Unclonable Functions (MPUF)‘17.
Rafael F. Schaefer (rafael.schaefer@tu-berlin.de) received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering and computer science in 2007 from the Technische Universitaet Berlin, Germany and the Dr.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering in 2012 from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany. From 2013 until 2015 he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University. Since December 2015 he has been an Assistant Professor at Technische Universitaet Berlin. He was a recipient of the VDE Johann-Philipp-Reis Prize in 2013 and the Best Paper Award of the of the Information Technology Society of the German Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE-ITG) in 2016. He was one of the exemplary reviewers of the IEEE COMMUNICATION LETTERS in 2013. He is currently a Member of the IEEE Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee. Among his publications is the recent book Information Theoretic Security and Privacy of Information Systems (Cambridge University Press, 2017). He organized numerous symposia, workshops, and special sessions in the broad area of security and privacy.
Matthieu Bloch (matthieu.bloch@ece.gatech.edu) is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
