Assessment of Incertainties in Shooting Accident Reconstruction: A Forensic Approach
Thursday March 27th, 2025
7-7:30pm
French presentation
This research project aims to develop an in-depth analysis of the
uncertainties inherent in shooting incident reconstruction. By
closely examining the impact of these uncertainties on evidence
interpretation and the resulting conclusions, it seeks to enhance the presentation of expert opinions, contributing to a more reliable and transparent judicial process.
This brief presentation will provide a general overview of the project and its objectives, emphasizing the key challenges it addresses, and the methodology used to tackle them. Following the presentation, an informal discussion is proposed on graduate studies and the academic and professional journey of the presenter, thereby offering students an overview of the opportunities available after a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
Mylène S. Falardeau holds a bachelor’s degree in forensic chemistry and a master’s degree in chemistry from the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Since September 2024, she has been pursuing a PhD in forensic science, focusing on the uncertainties related to shooting incident reconstruction. Alongside her studies, in 2019, she joined the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale de Montréal (LSJML) as a ballistic student. In 2021, she was promoted to forensic firearm examiner. In her role, she specializes in shooting incident reconstruction and 3D-printed firearms. In 2023, she founded a 3D-printed firearms specialized team, of which she is coordinator.
