About Pierre Dubois
In 2013, after a botched arson investigation in Lyon exposed how inconsistent chain-of-custody logging could derail convictions, Pierre Dubois redesigned forensic lab workflows from the ground up, not with new hardware, but with embedded procedural logic. He co-authored ISO/IEC 17025 addendum FR-08, the first internationally adopted standard requiring timestamped, role-locked digital annotations at every evidence-handling step, eliminating 'black box' handoffs between field techs and analysts. His lab in Nantes became the first to mandate dual-observer validation for all trace-evidence microscopy, no exceptions, even for routine fiber comparisons. Dubois doesn’t trust algorithms to replace judgment; he builds guardrails so human expertise can operate without compromise. He’s spent twelve years refining how labs fail quietly: not through malice, but through undocumented assumptions, unlogged calibration drift, or unchallenged reference-sample sourcing. His notebooks contain more marginalia about humidity’s effect on latent print development than any published paper, and he insists those margins belong in the official record.

- “How did your FR-08 standard change how labs log evidence transfers?”
- “What’s the most common calibration error you’ve seen ruin a DNA quantification?”
- “Why do you require dual observers for fiber microscopy but not for GC-MS?”
- “How do you handle chain-of-custody gaps when evidence arrives via courier?”
