Description
The Opening Workshop for this program was held on Monday – Friday, August 31 – September 4, 2015. The workshop provided an overview of the core topics relevant to the Forensics program, which is devoted to the development of methodological, theoretical, and computational treatments of statistical and applied mathematical analysis and modeling with applications to forensic science and forensics practice. For a more detailed description of the topics to be covered, see the Forensics homepage.
On Monday, August 31 the workshop opened with overview lectures by leading researchers in forensic science and mathematical science for forensics. From Tuesday through Wednesday, invited speakers addressed specific challenges presented by forensic work focused on pattern evidence, its analysis, the challenges for its interpretation and its presentation in court. Technical issues in imaging, image identification and image matching comprise one series of topics; quality control and quality metrics constitute another; maximizing the impact of new research in the mathematical sciences by setting research priorities is a third. A poster session and reception with a distinguished speaker took place on Monday, August 31.
On Wednesday, September 2, Working Groups were introduced, centering on problems and research directions identified in the Workshop. These groups will meet weekly over the course of the program, with the initial meetings on Thursday and Friday, September 3-4.
