Bob Blackledge

Over thirty years in forensic science have taken Bob Blackledge all over the world to testify as an expert witness or to attend international conferences. “I feel extremely fortunate to have worked in an area where, every day, I looked forward to going to work and facing new challenges.” Bob says that the term “Forensic Scientist” is very broad (and detractors might even say it’s an oxymoron), so he describes himself as “an analytical chemist who specializes in forensic science.” Although his interests are actually very broad, Bob’s special love is trace evidence. He is the editor of “Forensic Analysis on the Cutting Edge: New Methods of Trace Evidence Analysis” (Wiley Interscience, 2007.)
