Biometrics refers to metrics related to human characteristics. Biometrics authentication (or realistic authentication) is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control [wikipedia].
Thus,
all fields like Computer Vision, Image Processing, Analysis of Algorithms, Information Security are the scope of research, i think.

As you know, there is an enormous array of computer science applications in modern biomedical research. One that might be of particular interest to you as a computer scientist is Systems Biology. Within systems biology there are two main approaches: 1) statistical "big data" analysis (perhaps closest to your question about biometrics), a field where Bayesian nets are currently being used to infer causal connections from cross-sectional data, and 2) mechanistic analysis of complex dynamic systems in which biochemical reactions, transport processes, and molecular binding processes are modeled using large systems of ordinary or partial differential equations, simulated, optimized, and compared to smaller experimental data sets in order to test specific hypotheses.
Biometrics research is related to human physical and behavioral characteristics. Applications are: Face recognition, Ear Recognition, Gait (Walking Style) Recognition etc. Now days you can work on Face Spoof Detection, you can get more information from attached paper.
If you talk about biometrics as in human behavior, then autism is a great field to work on.
Checking the movements of children affected with autism and analyzing their behavior is great with the help of Computer Vision tools such as openCV, MatLab, Octave, etc
You may also find interest in behavioral biometrics in general. Once I started a project (unfinished) to investigate whether the typographical errors and the corresponding correction mechanisms can be accepted as a biometric.
