Forensics was traditionally described as training in the skills of public advocacy, including the development of evidence, and thus found one of its important venues in the law courts. As such, the term forensic has become associated with the art and science of legal evidence and argument. Today, CSI has brought attention to the field of criminal forensics as they attempt to solve crimes on television often three times a week. Forensics includes legal evidence and argument in a variety of areas, from criminal justice, to cyber forensics, to maritime forensics, to environmental forensics, and more. The Reconnect 2014 will choose of few of these areas and discuss the tools used. For example, fingerprint analysis uses graph theory, cyber forensics uses cryptology, CT scans are used across many forensics areas especially in marine mammal forensics, etc.

Reconnect Workshops expose faculty teaching undergraduates to current applications of mathematical and computational sciences and provide an opportunity for government or industry professionals to learn about recent research in related areas. Topics are presented in a weeklong series of lectures and activities; participants are involved in both research activities and in writing materials useful in the classroom or to share with their colleagues. Participants may develop materials for publication in the CCICADA Research Reports or the Educational Modules Series published by DIMACS.
Anyone may apply. Preference will be given to faculty whose primary job is undergraduate teaching and those working at government labs. Two-year college faculty are welcome to apply. Faculty from groups under-represented in mathematics are especially encouraged to apply. Deadline for submitting all documents: February 28, 2014 or until all slots are filled. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Late applications will be considered if space is available.
