Krystal R. Hans studies forensic entomology, which is the use of insects (especially blow flies) to help estimate how long a body has been dead and to understand decomposition processes. Her recent work examines how pesticides, temperature, humidity, and substrate type affect blow fly egg-laying and development, along with regional reviews of forensic entomology research and decomposition studies involving animal remains such as cats.
Publication output was low and steady (about 1 per year) from 2017-2020, then increased notably from 2021 onward, averaging about 2.4 papers per year over the last five years.
