Within the area of forensic chemistry, Expert is well-versed in the use of microchemistry for the identification of trace evidence and unknown materials, particularly inorganics. This discipline is particularly useful in examining geologically-based materials and the trace contaminents they may contain; this is especially useful when trying to pinpoint the place of origin for a particular soil material.

Expert's experience and training within the discipline of forensic science is multidisciplinary; he is certified as an expert in forensic microscopy, chemistry, forensic geology, document examination and forensic medicine. Expert has worked in both laboratory and field settings and have ten years experience as a crime scene investigator and analyst.

Within the realm of forensic geology it is critical to be able to understand the environment in which a particular sample may have come from. The understanding and documentation of sample sites make identification and individualization of regions possible within the forensic setting. The use of various methods of geologic and scientific documentation make it possible to not only explore and characterize a site but also link the site to a potential crime scene, victim, suspect or contamination site.
