Evaluating long wave UV for latent fingermark recovery on mobile phones

I am a final-year Forensic investigation student with a strong interest in fingermark visualisation. My research project investigates the use of long wave UV and high-intensity visible light for recovering latent fingermarks from mobile devices while preserving digital evidence and potential DNA. The study compared different illumination methods and found that white light and angled illumination produced the highest quality fingermarks, while faraday bag storage reduced fingermark quality over time. This research highlights the importance of non-destructive forensic techniques for mobile device examination and evidence preservation in criminal investigations.

Type of employment sought
I am seeking graduate or trainee roles within forensic science, particularly in fingermark development, forensic laboratory analysis, crime scene investigation, and forensic support, where I can apply the practical skills developed throughout my Forensic Investigation degree.
