Background / Research Interests

Dr. Reedy has extensive experience in applied vibrational (infrared and Raman) spectroscopy and heads the new Infrared Chemical Imaging Facility at UTS. He also manages the Raman spectroscopy facility at UTS. His current research interests include the applications of infrared chemical imaging in forensic science (imaging of paint, fibres and questioned documents, the visualisation of fingerprints on difficult backgrounds, the development of new fingerprint reagents, chemical imaging in forensic pathology) and forensic applications of Raman spectroscopy.  Other interests are in the areas of tin oxide gas sensors and the metal-catalysed oxidation of sulfoxyanions.  He currently supervises seven PhD students.
