Melissa K Ladyman
Dr Melissa K Ladyman graduated from Edinburgh University with an MChem degree in ‘Chemistry with a Year in Europe’ in 2010. Her undergraduate degree included a year placement at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Lille where she undertook research into potential medications for tuberculosis and depression. She gained a PhD in 2014 in organic and medicinal chemistry focussing on the development of fluorescent assays for biological analysis, also from The University of Edinburgh. In 2014, Melissa joined the environmental science group at Cranfield University and is currently a lecturer where she is responsible for teaching and researching the fate and transport of explosives in the environment and environmental management.
Together, Tracey and Melissa lead the teaching and research of Environmental Science at Cranfield University at Shrivenham. They teach a diverse mix of students and actively engage with the explosives and defence industries. For example, they have coordinated a NATO soil sampling workshop showcasing the multi-increment sampling method, which is ideal for identifying explosive contamination on training ranges. They have also published a range of scientific research on the behaviour of energetic materials in soil, air and water. Tracey and Melissa are currently investigating the applicability of environmental risk assessment to explosive activities through life. Their aspiration is to develop a flexible and effective approach to support environmental management for the use of legacy and future energetic materials.
