PhD Novel elemental analysis methods for forensic investigations

Recent years have seen a significant expansion in the range of analytical techniques being applied to issues within forensic science. Some of these involve bespoke systems developed specifically for the purpose, such as the Recover fingerprinting system developed here at Loughborough. Others have found ways to utilise mass spectrometry in order to address specific issues such as bodily fluid identification, biomarker analysis etc. One technique in which Loughborough has globally leading prowess is Laser Ablation - ICP-MS, which allows imaging of surfaces, tissues or particulate matter based on elemental distribution. However, the potential for the use of LA-ICP-MS within a forensic remit has thus far remained largely unexplored.
