RESEARCH SEEDHEAD IN

FORENSIC TECHNOLOGY

The constant advancement of science and technology has significantly transformed the field of criminal investigation. This is where the Forensic Technology Seedbed is established as an academic and practical space that seeks to foster interest, research, and skill development in the use of technological tools and artificial intelligence applied to forensics.

This training program aims to foster critical, ethical, and analytical thinking among young people, enabling them to apply technologies such as digital analysis, biometrics, electronic evidence processing, and specialized software to solve crimes.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SEEDBED

FORENSIC TECHNOLOGY

Conduct research: Research and analyze technological advances applied to criminal investigation and forensic science, both in a practical and documentary manner.

Guide: To provide students with knowledge on the use of digital tools and forensic techniques such as data analysis, information retrieval, biometrics and digital traceability, the functionality of technological tools, and artificial intelligence applied to forensics, using cutting-edge equipment and technology.

Project development: Conduct research that addresses real-world problems in the forensic field, integrating technology and science.

Encourage participation: Encourage young people to participate in academic events, competitions, workshops, conferences, and forensic research networks at national and international levels.

CONCEPTUAL BASES FOR THE SEEDbed

FORENSIC TECHNOLOGY

1. Epistemology of criminalistics and forensic sciences:

It underpins the construction of scientific knowledge applied to criminal investigation, ensuring validity, objectivity, and rigor in the interpretation of technological evidence.

2. Theory of sociotechnical systems:

It raises the relationship between technology, society and judicial processes, which allows us to understand how forensic tools affect the reconstruction of facts and the administration of justice.

 

3. Paradigms of applied research:

It supports the practical orientation of forensic investigation, where methodologies, protocols and software for digital and technological analysis are developed and validated.

4. Technological criminology and cybercriminology

It provides conceptual frameworks for studying crimes committed through digital technologies, laying the groundwork for cybersecurity and digital evidence investigation techniques.
