“The AAFS has more than 650 members representing all 50 United States and 71 other countries,” Director of the Digital Forensics Crime Lab, Mark Spooner, said. “Emma’s work ethic and drive are reasons why she was chosen to pursue this research. She was picked by the selection committee to present her research at this year’s annual AAFS conference.”
During her time at the conference, she presented her research to people who have had experience in this field and working with the technology, others that worked for law enforcement who are looking to adopt the technology, and people who were just curious about what she had researched.
"Presenting at this conference helped me connect with professionals who were interested in my research and found it applicable to their fields. I was also able to attend presentations and network with individuals whose research was relevant to the digital forensics field." -Emma Mancuso
