 | Adrian BorlesteanLaboratory Demonstrator As a two-time alumnus of Trent University, I have spent a long time studying and working in Peterborough at Trent University. My background includes both Biology and Forensics. I help organize the labs for several different courses in the department including FRSC1011H, FRSC2020H, FRSC2030H, FRSC3800H, & FRSC4110H. I’m always available to aid TAs in their labs or to meet with students that may have questions about our labs. I’m always happy to meet a new cohort of students every year, and help get them ready for Forensic Science at Trent. |

(Hons) in Forensic Science from Trent in 2008 and I have held the position of laboratory demonstrator in the Forensic Science department since 2010. In this role, I provide a range of support services for lab-based courses, which currently include the third- and fourth-year crime scene, fingerprinting, DNA and bloodstain pattern analysis courses. In parallel to my career, I am working part-time towards an M.Sc. in Environmental and Life Sciences. Under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Shafer, my project involves investigating microbial signatures related decomposition and post-mortem interval estimation. |
