Wolfram Meier-Augenstein
Wolfram Meier-Augenstein is a Professor at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, a registered forensic expert advisor with the British National Crime Agency and a member of the Advisory Board of the journal Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry. From 2010 to 2014 he served as Director of the Forensic Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry Network (FIRMS).[1] while from 2009 to 2013 he was a Council member of the British Association for Human Identification (BAHID).[2] Meier-Augenstein was one of the scientists consulted by An Garda Síochána investigating the case of the dismembered torso found in the Dublin Royal Canal.[3] This case has gained some notoriety under the name Scissor Sisters (convicted killers). He was also one of the scientists consulted by the police investigating the Norfolk headless body case.[4][5]
