Presenter: Rohith Krishan (Doctoral Researcher, Sheffield Hallam University, UK)
Rohith Krishna is a Doctoral Researcher at Sheffield Hallam University’s (SHU) Centre for Mass Spectrometry Imaging, building upon the pioneering molecular fingerprinting techniques developed by Prof. Francese’s group.
A double Gold Medalist in Forensic Science, he has served as an Assistant Professor at Jain University and collaborated with the Gujarat Police Academy on large-scale toxicological screenings.
He is a qualified forensic professional in India with operational experience in cases involving narcotics and plant poisons.
His current research develops MS imaging approaches for detecting and mapping date rape drugs within fingermarks. By transforming latent prints into robust and multi-informative biometric and chemical evidence, Rohith aims to bridge the gap between academic innovation and real-world criminal investigative tools.
