Anil Jain has been awarded a gift from Microsoft in support of his research on the Tablet PC and handwriting. This work contributes to the rapidly growing field of Biometrics, which is an important thrust of the CyberSecurity Initiative here at MSU. The gift from Microsoft will help support graduate students and further the cutting-edge research underway in Jain's PRIP Laboratory. Industrial participation from technology leaders enhances the impact of Jain's research, ensuring that it aligns with national needs, targets tomorrow's platforms, and is transferred to practice.
