25 November 2016 / in News / by

If you want to enroll in the first edition of II Level Master’s Degree for Crime Scene Investigator, you can do it by 19th December, 2016. 

The Master in Scientific investigations and criminal trial is aimed at professionals from different branches of this sector (from the law to biology, chemistry and medicine) and at legal practitioners, future lawyers, consultants and experts, as well as at lawyers, magistrates and judges who are already exercising their profession and feel the need to investigate the issue.
Also members of the police and journalists of court reporting can enroll in this master.

This innovative master will have a multidisciplinary approach, that “aims to help overcome difficulties due to the different communication codes used by science and criminal trial, areas that are now increasingly interconnected“.
These are the words of Francesco Caprioli, director of the course. During the presentation of the Master, he explained that the lectures will deal mainly with the use of chemical-biological and forensic sciences in the investigation and in the criminal trial.

“Anyone who is acquainted with the current dynamics of the criminal justice or even with television schedules, from the news to tv-series, knows how important new scientific fact-finding techniques are, from the analysis of the DNA to the luminol” explains Professor Caprioli. He also says: “Our Master will be preceded by preparatory lessons for those who want to fill any deficit in the three scientific macro-areas of the course (Fundamentals of Criminal Law and Procedure, Fundamentals of Chemistry and Biology, Fundamentals of Forensic Medicine). In addition to the theory, there will be also technical and practical lectures in the laboratory and for those who want, it will be possible to attend an autopsy“.

The course will start on January 13, 2017 and will last a whole year. End: December 2, 2017.

There’s an enrollment growth at the University of Turin. New enrollment figures confirm the positive trend with an increase of 8,32% compared to the last academic year 2015/2016.

There are 15.365 new enrolled students in 3-year or 5-year degree courses, but their number is bound to grow. In fact, the repêchages for Medicine, Health Professions, Veterinary Medicine and Primary Education are still underway.

There’s a high increase especially in the number of students enrolled in the economic and juridical field, with 3630 new students (+ 13,7%) and in the humanistic courses, with a growth of 6220 students (about + 11%). They are followed by the scientific field, with 3853 new freshmen (about +4,7 %), while the health field remains stable with 1662 enrollments.
The elimination of limited enrolment from a number of university courses and the introduction of new courses in the ICT (Information Communication Technology) field certainly helped to raise enrollments.

“The figures, which are constantly growing, confirm the commitment of the University to foster courses, that fit into the changes in the society and in the labour market. These figures are paying back the effort, made to eliminate the limited number in many courses and to ensure more access and right to education”, says Chancelor Gianmaria Ajani. “New freshmen have found in the University of Turin a way to come into contact with the most innovative companies, which are active in international markets and in sciences and technologies. The significant increase in new students enrolment and the good response to the activation of new courses, also in English, are a positive and concrete answer to the assessment of the policies on education that have been implemented“.

IBM University Award: from polymer-based sensors to the “electronic nose” at the Politecnico di Torino

Marco Sangermano will show the new frontiers of research for the creation of artificial olfactory systems, at the Sala consiglio di facoltà of the Politecnico di Torino, on Tuesday, 15 November, at 11:00 am.

In the occasion of the award ceremony for the IBM University Award, the Professor will hold a speech entitled “From the development of polymer-based gas sensors towards the construction of an electronic nose”, explaining how the research on artificial systems that can detect odor, made great strides.

New economical polymeric materials, developed thanks to the collaboration between Politecnico di Torino and the Almaden IBM Research Center in California, will allow to switch from the production of an electronic nose for industrial or scientific purposes to a “personal e-nose“, which can be directly integrated into a smartphone.

A simple mobile device will be able very soon to emulate our olfactory function, by smelling our food in order to know its quality or identifying a flu through the breath, before having symptoms.
