Queensland Branch

I graduated from dentistry in 1995 and I am a registered Specialist Orthodontist in private practice. I have always had a keen interest in forensic dentistry and work part-time with the Forensic Odontology team in Brisbane providing specialist-level identification services at QHFSS. I joined ANZFSS in 2014 and have been branch president since 2017. I am part of the organising committee for the ANZFSS 2022 Symposium.

I am an Illicit Drug Chemist within the Forensic Chemistry Department at QHFSS and have been for 15 years. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science from the QUT and two Masters degrees; one from the QUT and one from the University of Strathclyde (Scotland) where I graduated with distinction winning the Wiley-Blackwell prize.

I have a keen interest in researching and have published papers in the criminalistics areas of footwear impression analysis, water-based lubricant analysis, as well as illicit drug projects. I have lectured in Illicit Drug analysis at Griffith University since 2011. I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2002 and have been a committee member since 2018.

I am a Forensic Chemistry graduate from GU, a Chartered Member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, and committee member of the Clandestine Laboratory Investigating Chemists Association. I am an organic chemist working for the Public and Environmental Health (Organic Chemistry) Group at QHFSS.

I conduct water and food analysis for pharmaceuticals, drugs, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, toxins, and pathogens in accordance with compliances, for safety and for legal investigations.

I was awarded a 2018 ANZFSS Symposium Bursary Award to present a poster at the 2018 International ANZFSS Symposium in Perth WA, representing QHFSS on High Potency Compounds in Queensland. I am particularly interested in emerging psychoactive substances and hazards in clandestine laboratory response.

I am a Scientist in the Analytical section at Forensic DNA Analysis at QHFSS and have worked there since 2005. I graduated from the UQ in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science with majors in Molecular Biology and Zoology. I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2006 and have been the Queensland Branch Secretary since 2011.

I obtained my PhD in 1998 and am an Associate Professor in Forensic Chemistry at GU.  My research interests include the analysis of illicit drugs and the development of innovative teaching and learning materials for tertiary forensic science education.  I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2010 when I moved to Australia and a committee member since 2016.

I am a scientist within the Forensic DNA laboratory at QHFSS and have worked within the department for the last 16 years.  I have undertaken various roles in that time, working my way from laboratory assistant to reporting scientist, where my main duties include interpreting DNA profiles and presenting results in court.  I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science (Biotechnology) and a Graduate Diploma in Forensic Investigation.  I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2013.

I am a senior forensic scientist (chemist) with the Analytical Services Unit in the Scientific Section of the QPS. I was acknowledged as a VC Scholar when graduating with a Master of Scientific Studies (Chemistry) from the University of New England in 2018. In my spare time, I enjoy bushwalking and skiing and am looking forward to travelling to more countries and ticking them off my bucket list.

I am a forensic chemist within the Clandestine laboratory team at QHFSS. Previously, I was a forensic chemist within the Illicit drug group and had been with the team since 2008. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chemistry) from the QUT. I have volunteered for the QFES as a scientific officer providing scientific chemical knowledge during HAZCHEM incidents. I have lectured in illicit drugs (Novel Psychoactive substances) at GU since 2016. I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2013.

I am a Forensic Scientist attached to the QPS, Scientific Section, Ballistics Unit where my principal duties include firearm related examinations and attending firearm related crime scenes to support criminal investigations. I hold a Master of Science in Forensic Science from GU. Until recently, I was Vice President of this branch and have been an ANZFSS member since 2013.
