About

Dr. Sana Daruwala is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and forensic odontology, a field where dental evidence meets legal investigation. Her most-cited work, the 2023 review "Artificial intelligence in forensic odontology," has already garnered 11 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in this niche but rapidly evolving domain. Dr. Daruwala’s major contribution lies in systematically analyzing how AI-driven robotic systems can replicate human cognitive functions to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of dental identification, age estimation, and bite mark analysis. She has been instrumental in demonstrating how the digitization of dental and medical records—now reliably stored on cloud servers—can be leveraged by machine learning algorithms to solve cold cases and identify disaster victims with unprecedented speed. Her work bridges the gap between clinical dentistry and computational forensics, offering law enforcement and forensic teams a powerful new toolkit. By highlighting both the transformative potential and the ethical challenges of AI in this sensitive field, Dr. Daruwala is shaping the future of forensic science, making her research essential reading for students and professionals in dentistry, computer science, and criminal justice alike.
