Brian Reedy

Dr. Brian Reedy is a Visiting Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), affiliated with the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences within the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on applying hyperspectral imaging and multivariate chemical analysis techniques to forensic science challenges, including illicit drug composition analysis via Raman and terahertz spectroscopy, and handwriting analysis using moment invariants. He collaborates with the Australian Federal Police and Macquarie University on forensic projects.

Dr. Reedy’s research interests emphasize forensic applications of advanced spectroscopic methods, such as chemometric analysis for drug identification and imaging technologies for material characterization. His work bridges analytical chemistry and law enforcement, contributing to crime investigation and terrorism prevention.

He has secured funding for projects like "Multivariate analysis of hyperspectral images from heterogeneous solids" and "Advanced spectroscopic techniques for illicit drugs and explosives analysis," demonstrating expertise in forensic technology development. Dr. Reedy coordinates courses including Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Forensic Imaging at UTS, integrating his research into teaching.

His current supervision includes two PhD students, though their names are not disclosed. Collaborations with external institutions like Macquarie University highlight interdisciplinary engagement.
