Professor Andrew Jackson

I am currently a co-opted member of the Council of the Forensic Science Society (FSSoc) and the co-chair of the FSSoc’s Standards Committee with particular responsibility for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Continuing Professional Competence (CPC) matters. I have served on that committee for many years, and have been involved in the design, development and implementation of the FSSoc’s University Course Accreditation Scheme since its inception. I am a Fellow of the FSSoc and one of its assessors. I chair the FSSoc’s CPD and CPC working group.

PhD, FFSoc, PGCE, BSc (Hons)

I am currently the principal supervisor of two PhD students, one in the area of drug profiling, the other in the transfer and recovery of DNA evidence. I have successfully supervised seven other research students to the completion of their doctorates. The most recent of these, Dr Claire Gwinnett, undertook research into the use of inexperienced personnel in the analysis of synthetic textile fibres using polarised light microscopy for the generation of data suitable for the production of a synthetic fibres database. My previous research has been in the fields of cement chemistry and coordination chemistry.
