Education
Master of Forensic Science and Criminology - University of Lausanne, 1990
Ph. D. summa cum laude in Forensic Science- University of Lausanne, 1995

Christophe CHAMPOD is full professor of forensic science at the Ecole des Sciences Criminelles (ESC) / Institut de police scientifique (IPS) from the law faculty of the University of Lausanne, a member of the “2011 Plan” of the PRC national government – Collaborative Innovation Center of Judicial Civilization (“CICJC”) and a member of the Board of Foreign Advisors, CUPL Key Laboratory of Evidence Science (Ministry of Education). He received Ph.D. summa cum laude in Forensic Science from University of Lausanne.While concentrating on his teaching work, Professor Christophe CHAMPOD serves as a affiliate member of the Forensic Science Society (UK) and a member of the International Association of Identification (USA) since 1991.

He also serves as member of many other international association focusing on evidence science. Meanwhile, Professor Christophe CHAMPOD engages in various editorial activities and serves as a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Law, Probability and Risk (a journal of Reasoning under Uncertainty) edited by Oxford University Press (UK) since 2000 and the member of the Editorial Board (guest editor) of Forensic Science and Technology – A journal published by the Ministry of Public Security (China), etc. Moreover, Professor Christophe CHAMPOD was responsible for organizing many international conferences, not exhaustively including the 9th annual meeting of the ENFSI marks working group –SPTM2011 (Lausanne, 7-9 September 2011), the 7th meeting the International Fingerprint Research Group (Lausanne, 29 June - 3 July 2009) and the 7th meeting of the International Conference on Forensic Inference and Statistics (Lausanne, 20-23 August 2008). He is also a fruitful scholar with a great deal of publications and obtained more than CHF 2.8 mio research fund over the past 10 years.

Professor Christophe CHAMPOD’s research and teaching activities are centered on identification methods, mainly fingerprints, footwear marks, DNA and biometric systems, both at BSc and MSc levels. His casework duties include fingerprints, footwear examinations and interpretation issues (ear-print, DNA, face recognition, fibres and gunshot residues).
