Join us this week as we meet Daniel Preece, Lecturer in Forensic Science in the Centre for Biomedicine in the Hull York Medical School, discussing learning technologies, constructive failure and AI. 

Dr. Daniel Preece is the Programme Director for Forensic Science at the University of Hull, where he leads curriculum design, teaching innovation, and student experience within the forensic sciences. His professional background encompasses forensic drug analysis, toxicology, virology, and analytical chemistry; he has also previously worked with police and legal casework in interpreting and presenting forensic evidence. Daniel began his journey into forensic and analytical science at Sheffield Hallam University, returning to university years later to undertake a PhD exploring the bio-tribological properties of medical glove polymers for clinical applications at the University of Sheffield. As a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), Daniel is passionate about developing inclusive, research-led teaching and enhancing employability for students entering scientific professions. His pedagogical interests focus on experiential learning, assessment design, and curriculum alignment with professional standards in forensic science and chemistry. Beyond teaching, he is an active researcher in forensic science education and applied analytical science.

“I tend to lead the students to fail a little bit […] doing it wrong teaches the students more […] I try and get teaching fellows and associate to think more about how they teach the students, not to give them all the answers and have the students teach themselves…”
