Background

About Safiya B.

I'm a PhD chemist specializing in forensic science, with hands-on expertise in mass spectrometry, spectroscopy (Raman, FTIR, DART-HRMS), and chromatographic techniques (GC-MS). My doctoral research focused on the analysis of sexual lubricants for forensic applications, bridging analytical chemistry with public impact. Through this research, I've developed a sharp eye for data interpretation, method development, and translating complex scientific findings into meaningful insights. Beyond the lab, I've worked in cosmetic science and quality control, contributing to product development and consumer safety. As I near completion of my PhD, I'm exploring opportunities that merge my technical background with broader applications. I'm especially interested in roles within cosmetic R&D, as well as entry points into intellectual property and patent law, where I can help protect scientific innovation.
