John V. Goodpaster works in forensic chemistry, developing analytical methods to detect and identify trace materials such as explosives, controlled substances, and biological evidence like human hair. Much of the work uses techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and solid-phase microextraction to analyze volatile compounds, including studies on odor and training aids for explosive-detecting dogs. Statistical and machine-learning tools (chemometrics, neural networks) are also applied to distinguish and classify forensic samples.
