Our Geek of the Week answered:

The person is Dr. Erik M.P. Widmark.

Dr. Widmark was a Swedish physician who developed one of the first mathematical formulas to determine the pharmacoknetics of ethanol within the human body.  The equation, originally resulting from studies in the 1930’s, still widely accepted and cited.

Widmark’s equation is typically used to estimate the blood alcohol level of the individual at the time of the sample.  It is often then used to forward or back extrapolate a known drinking pattern to determine a person’s blood alcohol concentrations at various points of time within the pattern.

[BLOGGER’S NOTE:  Honorable mention should also the extended to past Forensic Science Geek of the Week past Winner Ron Moore, Esquire. He answered: “Gee, nobody got this one yet??? I thought that would be an easy one. This is Dr. E.P.M. Wid­mark. Dr. Wid­mark is the father of ret­ro­grade extrap­o­la­tion. His 1932 work ‘Prin­ci­ples and Appli­ca­tions of Medicole­gal Alco­hol Deter­mi­na­tion’ forms the basis of most alco­hol cal­cu­la­tions done by expert wit­nesses through­out the United States.”]
