Unit: New Horizon College of Engineering, BIO46 (SBC66131I)

We feel proud to have the IEEE Biometrics Council (IEEE BIO), which is one of the fastest progressing and promising technical societies of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering of New Horizon College of Engineering, Bengaluru initiated and actively started IEEE BIO NHCE Student Branch Chapter on 22.01.2025.

Objectives:

The IEEE Biometrics Council (BIO) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the science and technology of biometrics. Biometrics refers to the automated recognition of individuals based on their physiological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, voice, and gait. The IEEE Biometrics Council aims to promote research, development, and education in biometrics, as well as to provide a forum for the exchange of information among professionals from academia, industry, and government agencies. The council is a part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering received Petition Approval Letter from IEEE Member and Geographic Activities USA to start the IEEE Biometrics Council NHCE Student Branch Chapter on 22^nd January 2025. The effective date of this Student Branch Chapter formation is January 22, 2025 and Geo Code is SBC66131I. Currently 18 IEEE BIO Members are active in this chapter of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department.

The IEEE Biometrics Council SBC focus on biometrics, the IEEE Biometrics Council SBC plays a critical role in driving innovation and enabling the widespread adoption of biometric technologies in various applications, including law enforcement, border control, banking, healthcare, and access control.
