We develop and validate advanced imaging and computational methods that turn forensic questions into measurable evidence. Combining expertise in medicine, physics, and biomedical engineering, we bridge the gap between technological research and forensic practice.
Our methods include:
- Postmortem imaging using CT and MRI as non-invasive complements to conventional autopsy
- Quantitative MRI to investigate tissue properties and the effects of temperature, postmortem interval, and fixation
- Infrared photography to reveal findings beyond the visible spectrum, including gunshot residues and hematomas
- AI and data-driven image analysis to extract forensic patterns, biomarkers, and features
- Computational identification methods based on medical imaging data
- Digital tools and applications supporting processes such as time-of-death estimation
- Multimodal validation through comparison with autopsy findings, histology, and case-specific information
- Translation into forensic routine through validated protocols, practical tools, and new standards
From image acquisition to forensic interpretation, our goal is to make the invisible visible and transform scientific innovation into reliable forensic evidence.
