Bite Mark Degradation and Environmental Impact Studies
Interns will investigate how different environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, UV exposure, biological decay) affect the preservation and characteristics of bite marks on various substrates. They will conduct experiments to establish timelines for bite mark deterioration and develop guidelines for optimal evidence collection and storage. This research will strengthen the validity of bite mark analysis in cases where evidence has been exposed to environmental factors.

Validation and Reliability Assessment of Bite Mark Comparison Methodologies
Interns will participate in systematic studies evaluating the sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of current bite mark analysis techniques and standards. They will conduct blind comparison tests, inter-examiner reliability studies, and literature reviews on bite mark evidence validity. This research contributes to addressing ongoing debates in forensic odontology regarding the scientific foundation and courtroom admissibility of bite mark evidence.
