 Hello, my name is Talia Petrach. I am a Master's of Research in Science student at the University of Greenwich. I attend the Medway campus and I decided to start studying my masters here because I had a wonderful time studying for a forensic science undergraduate programme which I graduated from last year. So my research topic is focused on forensic entomology which is a blend of forensic science and entomology as well as using parts of chemistry in particular toxicology to investigate post-mortem interval estimations. This is very important in the forensic sector and it's not a very widely researched area as it's relatively new compared to other techniques. I feel really appreciative of the campus and its facilities and I find it very fun and interesting being able to work with members of staff as well as students giving them confidence in what they want to do and encouraging them that the route of masters by research is full of different possibilities and having members of staff that are able to support me and give me an insight into the world of forensic entomology. As a master's student I feel like I have a sense of responsibility and like I'm working more as a colleague than as a student. If you have an interest and if you have an ambition I would highly recommend this as you get the freedom to do what you want to do and root your goals.
