Kristen Fowble is earning her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University at Albany-SUNY. Her research focuses on developing a novel ambient ionization imaging mass spectrometry technique for the forensic detection of small-molecule spatial distributions. Kristen says, The research completed so far under the NIJ GRF has expanded my view of potential career paths. I have always been interested in a career in forensic science, but this particular project has shown me other avenues of research that can eventually be utilized in crime laboratories.
