Digital Security

Description

EURECOM is a major Engineering School and a Research Center in digital sciences At the heart of the Sophia Antipolis international technology park, on a site dedicated to teaching, research and digital innovation. EURECOM boasts one of the world's most renowned academic research teams in the field of digital security.

EURECOM is looking for a highly motivated and talented PhD student to join our dynamic research team. Under the supervision of Prof. Massimiliano Todisco, this project represents a landmark in the field of technological innovation in speech technologies. The main objective is to address and solve two of the most urgent challenges in the field of speech and voice technologies: the critical need for increased privacy and the optimisation of energy efficiency.

Wireless communications and computer vision have evolved as separate scientific areas. However, with the advent of new sensor technologies and AI-based signal processing algorithms in both telecommunication and computer vision, new joint studies are now possible [1]. For examples, wireless communications could benefit from visual data to prevent blockage whereas computer vision could gain robustness against occlusions if helped by radio-based imaging.

This work is part of a new national collaborative project in France ANR ASTRID Guerre Cognitive, proposed by EURECOM specialized in computer vision and IRCAM specialized in audio, entitled: “Fight against deepfakes of French personalities”.
