Research Group Leadership

Tomáš Goldmann

CHAIRMAN OF WORKGROUP

Tomáš is the head of STRaDe research group, where he has been working since 2015.

Details

His Ph.D. thesis focused on the development of a sensor, acceleration and evaluation of open source algorithms for face recognition. He continues to work in this field, especially on the use of artificial intelligence on embedded platforms. Within the research group, he is actively involved in other topics in all three research areas.

Filip Orság

DEPUTY HEAD

Filip is one of the founding members of STRADE.

Details

His Ph.D. thesis was in the field of biometrics, focusing on speech recognition and later on speaker recognition by speech. Gradually, however, he moved to the field of image processing and has carried out several projects in this area.

Core Members

Samuel Šimún

Master's Student, Specializing in Machine Learning and Language Models.

Details

Samuel is the newest member of our team. His main focus is in the area of machine learning using neural networks, which includes dataset creation, data analysis and preprocessing, and testing neural network architectures.

Dále má zkušenosti s generativní umělou inteligencí - s metodami jejího využití, prompt engineering a nasazením modelů on-premise. Dále pak s využitím pro různé uživatelské případy jako tvorba dynamického kódu, odpovědi na otázky v dokumentech, analýza dat a podobně.

Martin Sakin

Researcher, Research in Hand Biometrics, Administrator of the Biometric Laboratory.

Details

Martin's main focus is the detection of hand or finger liveness using multispectral illumination. This involves the creation of forgeries and the development of laboratory biometric sensing equipment.

In addition to his research, he does commercial work developing and managing information systems in the Django framework for a Belgian university. I teach labs in biometrics and tutorials focusing on fundamentals or low-level programming.

Štěpán Rydlo

PhD Student, Research on New Methods for Finger Vein-Based Person Recognition.

Details

Štěpán's main focus is the extraction of finger blood flow from an image, which is related to sensor development and data processing. He is also working on a project to develop a solution for laser beam detection using optical sensors. In addition to these devices, he also has experience in creating various compilation hardware solutions.

Andrii Kavetskyi

PhD Student, Research on Methods for Analyzing Pathologies in Retinal Images.

Details

Andrii's research focuses on biomedical data, specifically the evaluation, detection and segmentation of pathologies in retinal images.

Filip Pleško

PhD student, 2D and 3D face biometrics. Ask ChatGPT

Details

Filip is involved in facial recognition research. He is mainly focused on analyzing attacks on these systems and finding ways to defend against them. As part of his long-term research, he is working on improving 2D and 3D facial recognition systems.

Lukáš Semerád

Lector, Research in Retina Biometrics.

Details

Lukáš assesses the accuracy and reliability of biometric systems that use iris and retina recognition. He also researches the impact of eye diseases on the retina.

His research has also included determining the amount of biometric entropy in the retina, an algorithm for reliably recognizing people from their retinas. He has extensive teaching experience at both the high school and college levels, where he has taught low-level programming, foundations of artificial intelligence, biometric systems, and sensor applications.
