The International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 11) is a special combination of two major biometrics research conference traditions, the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB) and the Biometrics Theory, Application and Systems (BTAS) conference.
Here are some topics they cover:

I think fingerprint, palm/foot print, speaker identification, DNA biometrics and face recognition would be the most interesting to study, but yeah the rest would be very information since I have not heard of the majority of the things they cover. I would want to study the topics I listed above because it identifies a human being match for match. It is basically what forensics due which would be fascinating to do in order to catch a perpetrator/criminal.
I think they least interesting topic would be ear biometrics, just because it doesn't sound very flattering, plus I don't know exactly what it involves.
