Research projects
Project lead
Research project
We are exploring methods for the development of measurement uncertainty associated with the analysis of a wide range of forensic evidence types and how probability is used to understand the meaning of evidence given different alleged activities.

Project team
Research project
We are creating curated ground truth (known source) data sets and applying machine learning algorithms to explore the interpretation of chemical profiles and feature comparison problems.

Research project
We are working in collaboration with Cambridge University and the Alan Alda Centre for science communication to develop new tools for the communication and understanding of statistics in forensic science
