Jean-Franqois Mainguet

Jean-François Mainguet was born in Sarrebourg, France, on July 3, 1960. He became an engineer for Télécommunications de Bretagne in 1984. Since joining Thomson-CSF Semiconducteurs Spécifiques, Grenoble in 1984, he has been engaged in the development of SOS and SOI rad-hard semiconductor devices, electrical simulation, layout & mask design tools, analog to digital converter design and invented the sweeping technique for direct silicon fingerprint scanning. He was chief scientist of the FingerChip® project since Thomson became Atmel in 2000.
In 2009, he joined the CEA-Leti, Grenoble.

They forgot to say that it's difficult to define what is life, and so saying if a finger is alive or dead is hard because a surgeon can mend a chop finger. It is possible to make things very hard to spoof. But well, this is a much more attractive article as it is :-)
