I am a lecturer in Forensic Science at Liverpool John Moores University specialising in Forensic Chemistry.
I am the module leader for two undergraduate modules 4003FSBMOL - Forensic Chemistry and 5013GNBMOL- Skills 2 and also a Masters Module 7001FSBMOL - Trace Evidence Analysis.
In addition to this, I am also the Level 4 (Year 1 tutor) for the Forensic Science Programme, the Chair of the PBS Research Ethics Commitee, an Internal Advisor, a Cross Faculty Representative and I also organise the student trip to Romania.
My research interests include: Detection of drugs of abuse in fingermarks and the Chemical development of fingermarks on fabric.
