Tsippy Tamiri (1952 – 2017) was an Israeli mass spectrometrist, specialized in the analysis of explosives, drugs, and poisons.

Early life and education

[edit]

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

[edit]

Tamiri worked at the forensic laboratory of the Israel Police, where she was the head of the mass spectrometry department.[1] 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]
