About me
I am a forensic scientist with expertise in the fields of forensic genetics and DNA, homicide and sex crime investigation, clandestine grave site recovery and cold case review. In 2020, I launched the Cold Case Review @ Murdoch initiative alongside my Criminology colleague, A/Prof David Keatley.
Having worked for over 10 years in Western Australian State Government departments in both the forensic DNA laboratory and with law enforcement at crime scenes, I have attended thousands of major crime scenes, been involved in countless investigations, and performed numerous body recovery activities associated with high profile homicides an WA.
My research is focussed on the enhancement of molecular capabilities for national security and unsolved cases using cutting-edge DNA sequencing techniques and high sensitivity analysis. I am currently Chief Investigator on research grants to the value of approx. $1.2million.
