Forensic science is a significant part of solving crimes and maintaining justice.
While there are hundreds of methods currently used in forensic laboratories, advances in science and technology will change the ways we are able to interpret physical evidence. This course will focus on the use of computers and computational science as sources of useful information in forensic analysis. Structured hands-on activities and small group projects make this workshop more than just another classroom experience. Younger students who have not taken a basic science course are eligible to apply, but should consult with the course instructor prior to registering. Students are expected to have some experience in using a computer, and should be particularly motivated to engage in scientific studies.
