William Gee is a Senior Lecturer at Griffith University's School of Environment and Science, specializing in Chemistry and Forensic Science. He holds positions as Program Director for the Graduate Certificates in Crime Scene Investigation and Forensic Fingerprint Investigation. His research focuses on improving forensic evidence collection methodologies, particularly in latent fingerprint visualization, gunshot residue analysis, and drug presumptive testing. Dr. Gee has collaborated with the Queensland Police Service and holds affiliations with organizations like the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Education: B.Sc. (1st Hons.) in Forensic Science from Deakin University (2000s), followed by a PhD in lanthanide cluster chemistry at Monash University. He completed postdoctoral training at Monash University, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Germany), and the University of Bath (UK). Before Griffith, he was a Lecturer in Chemistry & Forensic Science at the University of Kent (2017–2020).
Research interests include developing novel forensic technologies, such as water-based hydrogel systems for fingerprint detection and low-cost phosphorescent powders. His work emphasizes sustainability and safety in forensic methods.
Recent publications highlight advancements in green chemistry applications for forensic science, including solvent-free strategies and cost-effective materials. Awards include the Victoria Fellowship (2012) and the RACI O'Donnell Schools Lecture (2023).
Teaching responsibilities include courses like Forensic Chemistry, Principles of Forensic Investigation, and Instrumental Chemistry Techniques. He supervises PhD and MSc students in areas like multispectral imaging and forensic evidence documentation.
