Developing, implementing and evaluating an oral health preventive programme for homeless populations across Scotland
Research project
Prisoners have been identified as one of the target groups (along with the homeless) for oral health improvement by the Scottish government as offenders' oral health is generally worse than that of the general population
Research project
Working with AI and machine learning experts we are devising robust algorithms for the interpretation of chemical profiles from fire debris. We are also exploring tools for feature comparison problems (including biometric features, ballistics and footwear).
Research project
We are creating new ways to detect illicit drugs, explosives and bodily fluids at the scene using cutting edge nano particle and quantum dot chemistry. We create nano biosensors using DNA aptamers to develop sensitive and selective tests
Research project
We are developing new avenues of research, collaboration, education and training using Virtual reality tools. Our research is exploring how to make VR useful and robustly fit for purpose for use in complex crime scenarios. We are also exploring how VR/AR and mixed reality can be used in the training environment for all sectors of the crimes scene to the court room.
Research project
When samples are collected at a crime scene and sent for analysis, a complex mix of DNA sequences can be detected; for example if the sample was collected from a bag, multiple people may have touched the bag and the sample can contain DNA from all those individuals
