Pedro Peris-Lopez

Pedro Peris-Lopez is a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. He holds an M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering (2004) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (2008), both from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

From October 2004 to December 2008, he held a position as an Assistant Lecturer at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain), where he was actively engaged in both teaching and research activities. In January 2009, he joined Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, Netherlands) as a Postdoctoral Researcher, focusing primarily on research. During his tenure at TU Delft, he also served as an Invited Lecturer for the Cryptography and Security course in the Master’s program in Computer Science. Additionally, he supervised a Ph.D. candidate from Universiti Sains Malaysia (Malaysia) as a Field Supervisor. To further enhance his pedagogical skills, he participated in several training courses (“University Teaching Qualification”). In September 2011, he returned to Universidad Carlos III de Madrid as a Visiting Lecturer.

With regard to international mobility, in 2016, he completed a four-month research stay at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland). Previously, he spent three years (January 2009 – January 2012) as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, Netherlands). Additionally, in June 2011, he was invited to École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) for a short-term research stay as part of the Summer Research Institute program. Owing to his international recognition, he has been invited as a guest speaker at various prestigious universities (e.g., Radboud University Nijmegen, KU Leuven, University of Portsmouth, EPFL) and renowned research centers (e.g., I²R Singapore). Furthermore, he has served as a panel member for Ph.D. dissertation defenses at both national and international levels.

He has made significant contributions to the field of computer science, particularly in applied cryptography, computer forensics, signal processing, and artificial intelligence. He has authored numerous articles in high-impact international journals and presented papers at prestigious peer-reviewed international conferences. His work has garnered substantial recognition, with over 5,549 citations and an h-index of 34, as reported by Google Scholar (01/2025). These metrics reflect the significant impact and quality of his research within the academic community.

His current research focuses on three primary areas, in which he has published extensively, including 66 articles in specialized journals and 45 papers in conference proceedings. His ongoing work continues to advance knowledge and innovation in these critical domains.

The topics and technologies he has worked with are listed below:

  • Topics: Privacy, (Continuous)-authentication, Biometrics, Cryptographic Protocols (design/verification), hardware security, Biosignal/Biomedical security.
  • Technologies: IoT, IoMT, IMDs, Sensors, RFID, Bio-signals (EEG, PPG, ECG, GSR, EMG, TEMP, etc.).
