Hello,

My name is Salma Almemari, and I am from the United Arab Emirates. I would like to introduce my work as an MSc Medical Visualisation and Anatomy student at the University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Arts. Through my work and collaboration with Dubai police, I was able to express my admiration and love for forensic Medicine.

I originally signed up for the degree with the hope of learning and creating applications and models that would positively impact forensic medicine.

It is imperative for Salma to represent the country and Emirati women who have impacted many challenging fields. Dubai police have shown absolute support, especially as I’m the first Emirati woman to pursue a Master’s in Medical visualization and Anatomy.

This course exposed me to many tools and knowledge I could implement in my work.

Thesis: Forensics Virtopsy 

Due to working in a city with a low crime rate and, hence, a low autopsy rate, I’ve decided to make a simulation that not only tests if virtual autopsies can replace traditional autopsies. But a tool that can impact different departments, such as education.
Forensic Virtopsy is a simulation that serves as an archiving tool and an academic tool that is mobile and accessible to users at all times. It empowers them with knowledge and guidance for autopsies.

The autopsies and anatomical models that would be used in the simulation would be of cases that would be presented. This would ensure a practical VR environment where users could practice performing autopsies, dissecting, or even studying anatomy.
