Tsippy Tamiri (1952 – 2017) was an Israeli mass spectrometrist, specialized in the analysis of explosives, drugs, and poisons.
Early life and education
Tsippy Tamiri grew up in Rishon LeZion. She enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces at eighteen. After discharge, she obtained a bachelor's degree in pharmacy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She received a master's degree in chemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a PhD in chemistry from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.[1] [2] [3]
Career
Tamiri worked at the forensic laboratory of the Israel Police, where she was the head of the mass spectrometry department. She conducted research in the analysis of explosives,[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] drugs[9] [10] and poisons.[11] [12] She published on the preparation,[13] characterization,[14] [15] and analysis of urea nitrate.[16] [17] [18]
Tamiri served as the president of the Israeli Society of Mass Spectrometry.[19] She served on the organizing committee of the second Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Sea Region Countries Mass Spectrometry – MASSA 2013 Workshop in 2013.[20]
