I am a qualified forensic odontologist with a Bachelors of Dental Surgery from the University of Sydney and a Graduate Diploma in Forensic Odontology from the University of Melbourne. I have extensive experience in all areas of my discipline, including human identification, clinical forensic medicine, disaster victim identification (DVI), malpractice/fraud investigation and teaching. My practice has been restricted to the field of forensic odontology since Dec 2002, and I currently hold the position of consultant forensic odontologist at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. I have just completed PhD research in forensic medicine at Monash University.
