I am a forensic archaeologist and board-certified forensic anthropologist (D-ALAF) with experience in 32 countries. My work, teaching, and research focus on the judicial and humanitarian investigation of disappeared persons, usually in armed conflict contexts, and professional ethics. Since 1999, I have worked as an applied forensic scientist for the prosecution and defence attorneys, as well as with the United Nations, International Criminal Court, International Committee of the Red Cross, U.S. Departments of Defence and Justice, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF in Spanish), and non-government organizations. I have also worked in academia at the University of Toronto, Simon Fraser University, Bournemouth University (UK), National Forensic Sciences University (India), University of the Magdalena (Colombia) and the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. I am co-director of the International Scientific Advisory Committee for the Colombian Missing Persons Search Unit (UBPD in Spanish), Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University, and visiting faculty for a master’s degree program in Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
