    The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency's (DPAA) Principal Deputy Director Ms. Fern Sumpter Winbush shares a laugh with the University of Central Florida's (UCF) National Center for Forensic Science (NCFS), NCFS Director Dr. Michael Sigman, in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 24, 2023.

    During the tour, the faculty and students shared how they are researching the use of a mobile scanner to determine bone from non-osseous material in the field and segregate discrete individuals from commingled remains—additional presentations on trace analysis, pollen (Palynography) analysis, artificial bone construction, and hair analysis.

    During the visit to NFSC, Director Dr. Michael Sigman took the time to acknowledge several individuals, including UCF alumnus Dr. Laurel Freas, Mary Megyesi and former ORISE fellow Katie Passalaqua. He recognized the strong reputation that DPAA holds among his forensic students. It was clear that many of these students were eager to work exclusively for DPAA in the future.
