Melanie Brownridge is the Technology and Innovation Director at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).

Melanie lives in West Cumbria with her husband, Martin, and two teenage girls. In her spare time she likes to walk in the glorious countryside of the Lake District and to play her cello, piano and double base.

Melanie was born in Chester but moved to High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire when she was one. Melanie went to Wycombe High School which she really enjoyed and after getting good grades at Maths and Sciences, she decided to study Maths, Chemistry and Biology at Sixth Form and then went on to study Chemistry at Imperial College London with a year in Hanover, Germany.

After completing her degree, Melanie went on to do a PhD in Chemistry at Imperial College London. She then moved up to Cumbria to work for British Nuclear Fuels on a Research Associate Scheme. Melanie then moved into managing the programme for waste characterisation of legacy ponds and silos.

Melanie continued her career journey and began work as Head of Technology Services at Nexia Solutions where she was more actively involved in technology development, commercialisation, and innovation. From here, she then took the decision to move to the NDA as Head of Research and Development and progressed to her current role as Technology and Innovation Director.
