Sherry Nakhaeizadeh

Lecturer in Crime and Forensic Science

Biography 

Sherry’s background and research interest lies within forensic science interpretations specifically looking at cognitive and human factors. She is currently interested in the application of technological advancement and AI approaches in method development in forensic anthropology as well as using such technologies to understand the interpretive process and expertise in complex visual tasks applied within forensic anthropology specifically, and forensic science broadly. Sherry is also part of The International Centre for Evidence-Based Criminal Law (EB-CRIME) funded by the Swedish Research Council which is set up at Uppsala University in Sweden through a a network of international  researchers from different scientific disciplines that collaborate in research projects about evidence in criminal cases.
