DFG proposal accepted

We are excited to announce that the funding proposal Privacy-preserving Eye Tracking has been approved by the German Research Foundation (DFG)! It is a joint proposal with Prof. Ralf Küsters at the Institute of Information Security, and will fund one PostDoc and one PhD position for three years.

The goal of this project is to advance privacy-preserving eye tracking along the whole eye tracking data processing pipeline. We specifically focus on cryptographic approaches, including multi-party computation, differential privacy, and (fully) homomorphic encryption. We will use and advance these approaches for private learning-based gaze estimation and gaze data quality verification as well as privacy-preserving gaze-based user behaviour modelling. As such, this project aims to pioneer and lay the scientific foundations for a new generation of privacy-preserving eye tracking methods with provable privacy guarantees.
