Christopher holds a BSc (Hons) in Forensic Science, an MSc in Forensic and Biological Anthropology, a PhD in Forensic Taphonomy (where he investigated the decomposition of hair, cartilage and bone in burial environments), and a PGC in Entomology.

Christopher joined the University of Wolverhampton as a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Science in May 2016 where he currently teaches on various undergraduate and postgraduate modules. His previous roles included working as a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer at Glyndwr University (Wales), a Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Forensic Research (Instytut Ekspertyz Sądowych) in Krakow Poland, a Histologist (NHS Histopathology Department), and a Physical Anthropologist at the Natural History Museum (London).

A ‘media friendly’ academic, Christopher is regularly contacted by authors wanting to include forensic science within their books, he is always happy to help where he can. He has been involved with interviews for the BBC and consulted with numerous television documentary producers.
