研究领域

My main research interests have focused on the development of new forensic analytical methods for the identification and analysis of forensic evidence, such as: bulk explosives; trace explosive and firearm residues; drugs of abuse/ Novel/New Psychoactive Substances’s and toxicological samples; fibre dyes, document inks/ markers; paints; latent fingerprints and footwear impression enhancement. In addition, I supported industrial companies in the development of their products and instrumentation, resulting in the application and joint development of the products for analysis and identification of trace forensic evidence. In my role as Forensic Scientific Advisor to Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) UK, I developed new forensic spectroscopic techniques. This has been on-going as part of my Honorary Professorship duties. In addition, I was responsible for: Joint supervision of Forensic Science Northern Ireland laboratory (FSNI)/ UK Home Office funded pre/post Doctorate and Master’s degree students at QUB. External project supervisor to M.Sc. students in Forensic Science from Strathclyde and King’s College, London Universities. Project collaboration with QUB, Police Service Northern Ireland, European institutions and European industry, resulting in the successful granting of three European Union 7th Framework projects relating to the security sector. I am the forensic advisor for each of the projects. Supervisor for joint QUB/ FSNI EPSRC Impact funding projects and a referee for five QUB EPRSC projects.
