Conference:
Fall 2011 Conference of the Mathematical Association of America Seaway Section, hosted by the St Bonaventure University Mathematics Department, October 14-15, 2011. See News Article.
Abstract:
Ten years ago, 2,753 people were killed from the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. The victim identification process was the largest and most complex forensic project in history. This presentation will describe the events of 9/11 from a forensic perspective and detail the mathematics of DNA victim identification. These include DNA Fingerprinting, Kinship Analysis and other genetic applications of Forensic Mathematics.
Update (2/12): Encore Presentation given at Nazareth College Mathematics Department, February 22, 2012 at 361 Smyth Hall, 4:00PM
