Application of computational chemistry to forensic detection

这个项目将探索利用计算能力来指导这一领域的工作途径的概念，并具有巨大的未开发潜力。该项目将与CAST(内政部科学-应用科学与技术中心)密切合作。将调查两个主要领域：血液分析。需要在现场直接识别血液而不使用化学喷雾(见下文)是该项目的关键驱动因素。在显影试剂中的溶剂效应用于指纹识别和重新配制一些印迹显影试剂(由于环境问题)，并了解显影过程中发生的基本相互作用。

This project will explore the notion of using computational prowess to direct avenues of work in this area and has immense untapped potential. The project will work very closely with CAST, Home Office Science - Centre for Applied Science and Technology). Two main areas will be investigated: Blood analysis. The need to identify blood directly at scene without the use of chemical sprays (vide infra) is a key driver for this project. Solvent effects in development reagents for fingerprinting and re-formulating some print development reagents (due to environmental concerns) and to understand the fundamental interactions that go on in the development process.
