Durhamregion.com : Better analysis of bloodstain patterns is the goal of a new project led by Franco Gaspari, a professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa. Gaspari and his team recently received a grant from the Canadian government to incorporate fluid dynamics and other physics into the software used by police at the scenes of bloody crimes. According to the Canadian Police Research Centre, Gaspari’s project
will foster the development of an important tool that will provide investigators with improved accuracy in crime scene measurements by constructing a more precise re-creation of the crime scene.
