Robert Trafford is a project coordinator at Forensic Architecture. His work consists of open source research, data mining and analysis, writing and editing for scripts and exhibitions and the occasional reporting.

Forensic Architecture (FA) is a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London. They investigate human rights violations, including violence committed by states and police forces. For their investigations, they use cutting-edge techniques in open source investigation, digital modelling and spatial and architectural analysis. Their findings are presented both nationally and internationally.
