Professor Monika Całkiewicz serves as a full Professor in the Department of Criminal Law at Kozminski University, where she previously held the position of Vice-Rector for Law Studies (2012-2020). Her professional affiliations span academic, judicial, and bar association leadership roles: Current Professor at Kozminski University Dean of the Warsaw Bar Association Council (since 2020) Board of Editors member, International Association of Law Schools (since 2020) Legal counsel in active practice (since 2012) Former district prosecutor, Warszawa-Mokotów District Court (2002-2011) Academic credentials include habilitation in legal sciences from the University of Warsaw (2021), with specialized training at Germany's Max Planck Institute (2009, 2010). Her scholarly profile is defined by expertise in criminal law, forensic science, and criminology, focusing on practical investigation methodologies that bridge theoretical frameworks with courtroom applications. Research emphasizes homicide behavior patterns, forensic document analysis, and crime scene processing protocols for death investigations. Professor Całkiewicz's scientific contributions have been recognized with the Polish Forensic Association's highest honors: Best doctoral dissertation in forensic science (2004) Best habilitation in forensic science (2012) Her professional trajectory demonstrates unique integration of academic scholarship with active legal practice, evidenced through leadership in both university administration and the Warsaw Bar Association.

Cristina-Irina Tica serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. Her work bridges geogenetics and forensic anthropology through advanced statistical modeling. Her primary research focuses on Geogenetics and Ancient DNA analysis, with specialized interests in Population Genetics, Forensic Anthropology, and Bayesian statistical applications for human decomposition modeling. This interdisciplinary approach integrates taphonomic processes with genetic methodologies to reconstruct postmortem timelines. Her 2025 publication in Forensic Science International demonstrates a clear trend toward computational forensic anthropology, utilizing Bayesian frameworks to analyze decomposition variables. This reflects broader shifts in the field toward data-driven approaches for death investigation and postmortem interval estimation. As part of the Section for Geogenetics team, she contributes to collaborative projects examining ancient human DNA signatures in forensic contexts, working within Copenhagen's interdisciplinary research ecosystem focused on evolutionary genetics and anthropological applications.
