The Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence (CSAFE) researchers will be presenting at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) annual scientific meeting. The virtual meeting will be held Feb. 15-19 and will showcase the current research in the forensic sciences fields.
CSAFE researchers will share the latest advancements in their research including footwear and latent print analysis, forensic methods for digital evidence and using statistical methods in forensic science. Below is the list of CSAFE presentations and poster submissions.
