Great question Izzy 🙂 With my expertise I hope to broaden my horizon further and work more closely within the education system. To empower learners to be confident, especially those from minority groups.

Right now, I work with the Scottish Prisons to detect the drugs currently being using by prisoners and track any changes in the prison drug market. In the future, I would love to see this expand to other countries to create an international prison network where prisons around the world can share their data, problems, and expertise.

This is an excellent question and one thats quite tricky to answer! I would like to see more sharing of information between organisations when it comes to illegal drugs, including with those who are working on the front line to help people with addiction. In an ideal world I would hope that toxicology can get to a point where we are working in a proactive manner, rather than reactive.

I hope to bring ecological forensics into common use and with that the associated standardisation and accreditation. I hope also to inspire the use of open data to improve quality standards of the profession. And of course to encourage young people to make which ever science they love a top rate subject! Whether it pertains to the law (ie forensic) or not. We aim to make science useful…

The purpose of all aspects of forensic science it to aid justice and to help the jury make a decision as to the guilt or otherwise of the person accused.

I would like to see (stable) isotope analysis more widely used to demonstrate (or exclude) linkage between evidence and suspect, and to corroborate conclusions drawn from traditional methods of forensic analysis.

I’m working quite closely with search teams currently looking at the use of drones and cadaver dogs etc. in finding missing persons and/or grave sites. So I hope that we can continue to improve the speed and success of searches in order to offer closure to families as quickly as possible.

I have been working with my students looking at the greater use of photography in forensic research for example the use of time lapse and infrared photography to see beneath cover-up tattoos.
See some examples on vimeo https://vimeo.com/showcase/10103417 -

In the near future I hope to carry out research within areas that interest me, while also using the expertise I have gained during my PhD.

Through facial depictions, I hope that our work is able communicate the the language between art and science, and inspire others.

Hi Izzy! In the short term, I hope that I can develop a robust technique for the analysis of cosmetic trace evidence, and prove that it is reproducible and statistically accurate! In the long term though, it would be amazing if that could turn into a nationally accepted protocol, which all lab-based forensic scientists followed, and which all CSIs used to collect and preserve cosmetic evidence discovered at crime scenes.
My number one wish is for cosmetic evidence to form part of a criminal case (think, small piece of a big jigsaw!) which is presented in court, and which ultimately helps to convict an offender.

I don’t think World peace is achievable, so I will be happy that I make a positive difference in peoples lives.
I am currently working on a project that uses fingerprints to speed up the Visa process for people visiting the UK. That will save millions of people time and effort -

We always hope to assist with the identification of a body.

In the short-term I would like to learn more about how the weather and season affects insect activity so I can help give more information about when a person might have died using forensic entomology.
In the long-term I would like to increase awareness of forensic entomology and ecology across Police forces in the UK.

It would be to find a rapid way to detect fake medicines, ideally something low cost and easy to use. There is a significant amount of medicines in some countries that people take that dont make them feel better. I would like to think that the work we do can help make medicines safer for people to take. I really enjoy working with young people and would like to raise their aspirations and encourage them to get into science.
