PriBAD: Private Biometrics for Aid Distribution
Partner: ICRC, funded by HAC Partner contact: Vincent Graf EPFL laboratory: Security and Privacy Engineering Laboratory (SPRING) EPFL contact: Prof. Carmela Troncoso, Wouter Lueks In this project, we work on providing a privacy-preserving biometric solution for humanitarian aid distribution. The project seeks to understand the requirements of aid distribution in emergency situation and design a solution that enables the use of biometrics without endangering the beneficiaries that need access to aid.

ViewWhat If....? Pandemic Policy Decision Support System
Partner: Swiss RE Partner contact: Mary-Anne Hartley EPFL laboratory: Machine Learning and Optimization Laboratory (MLO), intelligent Global Health Research group EPFL contact: Mary-Anne Hartley, Prof. Martin Jaggi, Prakhar Gupta, Giorgio Mannarini, Francesco Posa After 18 months of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is still no agreement on the optimal combination of mitigation strategies. The efficacy and collateral damage of pandemic policies are dependent on constantly evolving viral epidemiology as well as the volatile distribution of socioeconomic and cultural factors. This study proposes a data-driven approach to quantify the efficacy of the type, duration, and stringency of COVID-19 mitigation policies in terms of transmission control and economic loss, personalised to individual countries.
