Bacteria and AI – new tools for solving crimes
Criminals may hide their fingerprints and DNA, but they cannot avoid leaving invisible biological traces behind. I turn traces from objects, people, and places into intelligence that helps police reconstruct crime scenes and solve cases faster.
Major crime is on the rise, and as criminal networks become more organized, sophisticated, and violent, police need new investigative tools. Microscopic traces reveal the hidden history of every object, from guns to clothing, uncovering where it has been and who handled it. By combining environmental DNA with AI, I develop forensic intelligence tools that help investigators connect people, objects, and locations when traditional evidence is missing or degraded. The technology integrates seamlessly into existing police workflows while opening an entirely new way to reconstruct crime scenes and criminal activity. It enables faster lead generation, stronger evidentiary links, and new opportunities to prevent crime and make communities safer.
