Forensic Science Graduate Seminar Series

The Department of Forensic Science's FRSC 570 Forensic Science Graduate Seminar serves a dual purpose.

First, it is a forum at which forensic science graduate students present the results of their independent study or internship projects and experiences in a professional setting.

Second, graduate students use the seminar series to invite forensic science professionals to speak about their work and research — providing students with the opportunity to learn about the most recent advances, as well as exposing them to topics that may not receive in-depth coverage during classes.

Recent talks have included “Murder by Poison,” presented by Dr. Al Poklis a toxicologist at the VCU Medical Center, “Event Data Recorders – Vehicle Black Boxes – Add a New Dimension to Crash Reconstruction,” presented by Robert Breitenbach, director of the VCU Transportation Safety Training Center and “Automation of Forensic Science DNA Casework: Present and Future Applications,” presented by Dr. Susan Greenspoon of the Virginia Department of Forensic Science.
