Anouk de Ronde

Anouk de Ronde is a Lecturer and Researcher in Forensic Science at the Department of Forensic Science, Faculty of Technology, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Her work focuses on advancing forensic methodologies, particularly in activity level evaluation, fingerprint analysis, DNA trace analysis, and crime scene investigation. She actively contributes to improving trace selection strategies, evidence preservation, and the application of Bayesian networks in forensic contexts.

Her research interests emphasize the intersection of forensic science and criminal investigation, with a strong emphasis on practical applications. She has published extensively on topics such as optimizing sampling locations for crime scenes, mitigating trace loss during forensic exhibit transport, and developing frameworks for evaluating fingerprints and DNA evidence in relation to activity level propositions.

De Ronde has presented her findings at numerous conferences and workshops, including talks on 'What fingermarks reveal about activities' and 'Recent Developments in Fingerprint Analysis.' She has also supervised student theses and organized academic events, demonstrating her commitment to both research and education. Her work has garnered media attention, highlighting innovations in forensic trace analysis and activity level evaluation.

Though no scientific awards are explicitly listed, her contributions to forensic science are evident through her prolific output and engagement with interdisciplinary research.
