Using expert witnesses and forensic science in the court room is a critical part of our criminal justice system. But what do you do when there is no science behind the evidence presented or when the science isn’t understood and why does it matter so much?
Professor Niamh Nic Daeid is a forensic chemist specialising in the investigation of fires, explosions and clandestine drug chemistry. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and holds fellowships with the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Statistical Society and the Chartered Society for Forensic Science. She is a Director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee, in Scotland with a vision to disrupt and redevelop the use of forensic science within the criminal justice system.
