About
Dr. Mara Lombardi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of forensic engineering and emerging digital technologies. Her work focuses on the forensic implications of the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly how rapid, discontinuous innovation in connected devices creates novel challenges for evidence collection, system integrity, and legal accountability. In her seminal 2020 paper, "Forensic Implications in the Continuous Discontinuity of IoT Innovations," Lombardi argues that the breakneck pace of IoT evolution demands a "new regulatory" and methodological framework—what she terms electro forensic engineering. Though early in its citation history, this work is foundational for a field grappling with how to apply traditional forensic principles to smart, networked, and often ephemeral systems. Her research critically examines the ethical and social impacts of these technologies on human society, as well as their operational and global effects on technical infrastructure. By bridging gaps between computer science, law, and engineering, Lombardi is shaping the next generation of digital forensic practice, ensuring that justice keeps pace with innovation.
