Jeanine Joling

Jeanine Joling serves as a Lecturer and researcher in the Department of Forensic Science at Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, where she focuses on practical forensic methodologies and evidence analysis within an applied academic context.

Her research spans critical forensic domains including DNA analysis of biological evidence, activity level reporting standards, male DNA prevalence on undergarments, and evidence collection protocols. She specializes in leveraging small datasets for robust evaluative reporting in forensic contexts, with particular emphasis on statistical reliability in activity-level propositions.

Recent 2024 publications demonstrate her focus on real-world forensic challenges: analyzing male DNA transfer on female undergarments and optimizing evidence bagging techniques. Her work addresses methodological gaps in forensic statistics while maintaining practical applicability for crime scene investigation.

Awards:

• Research award (2016) for contributions to Next-Generation Sequencing applications in forensic DNA analysis

Her forensic innovations have generated significant media attention, including features on DNA fingerprinting advancements and suspect identification technologies through NH-Nieuws and HvA press outlets in 2019, highlighting the practical impact of her research on criminal investigations.
