Dr. Kiran
Subedi, Ph.D.
Pioneering elemental analysis techniques with LIBS & LA-ICP-MS for forensic document examination. Lab Director at NC A&T State University.
About Dr. Subedi
Combining the precision of molecular science with the impact of forensic investigation.
Research Identity
I am a dedicated analytical chemist and forensic scientist with a passion for bridging cutting-edge instrumentation with real-world impact. My work focuses on identifying and characterizing materials — from printing inks to biological trace elements — using advanced laser-based spectrometric techniques.
Teaching Philosophy
My journey has equipped me with a unique perspective: complex analytical problems are best solved by students who understand both the theory and the hands-on practice. My courses are designed to build that dual mastery from day one.
