معرفی
Matthew Almond is a Professor at the University of Reading, with a multidisciplinary research focus spanning materials science, forensic science, and archaeology. His work integrates advanced analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, SEM-EDX, and micro-XRD to investigate materials degradation, forensic evidence, and archaeological artifacts. Notable contributions include studies on bitumen oxidation, latent fingerprint enhancement, and pigment analysis at Neolithic sites like Çatalhöyük and Bestansur.
Research interests include materials characterization, environmental chemistry, and the application of spectroscopic methods to solve forensic and archaeological questions. His publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, bridging chemistry, geology, and anthropology.
