About

Dr. Ursula Buck is a pioneering forensic scientist whose work lies at the intersection of forensic pathology, diagnostic imaging, and robotics. As a key member of the renowned Virtopsy project, she has fundamentally advanced the use of non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques for post-mortem investigations. Her most cited work introduces the "Virtobot," a multi-functional robotic system that automates 3D surface scanning and post-mortem biopsy procedures, revolutionizing how forensic evidence is collected. This innovation, which has garnered 78 citations, replaces traditional manual methods with precise, reproducible, and digitally documented processes, significantly enhancing the objectivity and accuracy of forensic examinations. Dr. Buck’s contributions have not only improved the quality of forensic evidence but have also set new standards for integrating automation and imaging into death investigations. Her work is a cornerstone for researchers and practitioners seeking to modernize forensic science, demonstrating how interdisciplinary collaboration can yield transformative tools for justice and public health.
