Biography
Vincenzo Rinaldi is a VR/AR Application Specialist at the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science (LRCFS), University of Dundee (UoD), UK. Before his appointment at the UoD, he worked as a Research and Development Engineer, looking into implementing Extended Reality (XR) as an enhancement tool for museums, medical education and security. He graduated cum laude with a master’s degree in Software Engineering at the University of Catania, IT. At LRCFS, he led a research project that received recognition in 2023 with The Herald Higher Education Awards: Innovative Use of Technology Award in Glasgow (UK). Additionally, he received the Engaged Early Career Researcher of the Year - Stephen Fry Award 2024 at the UoD. His current research interests deal with innovative ways of 3D digitalisation and visualisation of crime scenes by creating acquisition standards and estimating how XR could aid with training, competence testing and investigations.
