Justin Bueno

Justin Bueno’s pursuit of an advanced degree at the University at Albany, SUNY was determined mostly by coincidence. “I always loved watching documentaries on forensic science, but I was often left wanting a more in-depth description of the analytical techniques; luckily, Dr. Lednev had an opening in his research lab that meshed both analytical and forensic chemistries perfectly.”The research performed by Bueno in Lednev’s lab earned him a PhD in analytical chemistry in 2013. “I could have never dreamed that the project I started in 2009 would possess the great potential to be a tool that real world forensic investigators use.”
