Dr. Adrienne Brundage is an entomologist and board-certified forensic entomologist and expert witness in forensic entomology. She teaches entomology and forensics at Texas A&M University, University of Florida, and Florida State University, and consults with law enforcement and lawyers across North America. She is currently serving as the Assistant Director of the Forensic and Investigative Sciences program at TAMU and the President of the North American Forensic Entomology Association (NAFEA).

In addition to teaching traditional courses at universities and community colleges, Dr. Brundage trains law enforcement, lawyers, and crime scene investigators through continuing education workshops and online courses. She also serves on national committees that develop forensic science standards for the U.S. Her training to become a forensic entomologist included a broad background in the general forensic sciences, and this text is a direct result of the lack of appropriate and broadly based forensics books on the market during that training.

As an entomologist, Dr. Brundage works with animals and the insects that affect those animals, and works with vets and other animal care specialists on a regular basis. She has a robust undergraduate research program that helps students develop and carry out their own research projects in entomology. Her own research revolves around blowflies, the effect nutrition has on their physiological development, and the use of blowfly larvae as medical maggots. She currently teaches over 800 students per semester across seven different courses.
