Chiara Villa is an Associate Professor in the Section of Forensic Pathology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, serving as daily manager of the Laboratory of Advanced Imaging and 3D modelling (3D LAB). Her work integrates advanced digital technologies with forensic expertise to revolutionize evidence documentation and analysis. Her research focuses on virtual crime scene reconstruction using CT-scanning, photogrammetry, and surface scanning to create victim-specific 3D models that accurately reflect injuries and anatomy. This enables precise simulation of event sequences by combining crime scene digitization with biomechanical knowledge of human movement. Her interdisciplinary work spans forensic anthropology, osteology, mummy studies, and paleopathology, with collaborations extending to clinical medicine, veterinary sciences, and computer sciences. Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant themes in forensic age estimation, craniofacial development across species, and historical case reconstructions like the Ötzi the Iceman murder investigation. Her work consistently demonstrates how 3D technologies bridge microscopic and macroscopic evidence to create permanent digital archives for forensic reassessment. Scientific awards: No awards were mentioned in the provided text. Advising and grants: The provided text contains no information about students, advising activities, or research grants. As leader of the 3D LAB, Villa develops innovative tools for recording and visualizing forensic findings, with ongoing projects focused on virtual reconstruction of trauma patterns and creating digital repositories that allow future re-examination of evidence when new information emerges.
