He has worked in many areas including geostatistics, medicine, and reliability, and he and Petter Mostad started the Familias project. He has coauthored more than 100 scientific papers in forensic genetics. Currently, his research focuses on statistical methods applied to forensic genetics. Daniel Kling holds a PhD in biostatistics and is the author of several publications in forensic genetics including the book ""Relationship inference using Familias and RdStatistical methods in Forensic Genetics"". His current research includes topics such as linked markers in relationship inference, software developments, and population genetics. He is the developer of the software Familias, FamLink, and FamLinkX, all of which are widely used in forensics. Petter Mostad is associate professor in mathematical statistics at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. After graduating from Princeton with a PhD in pure mathematics, his interests have expanded in several directions and now focus on Bayesian inference and modeling, with forensic genetics as an important area of application. He initiated the implementation of the precursor of the Familias program in 1995, and has together with Thore Egeland and later Daniel Kling developed Familias, which is now one of the most used programs world-wide in the area of relationship inference based on DNA data."
