Mamatha Tomson is a Higher Scientist in the Air Quality and Aerosol Metrology Group (AQAM) at NPL. She has expertise in conducting air quality monitoring projects and assessing interventions aimed at reducing air pollution exposure. She completed a dual PhD, funded by the UGPN (University Global Partnership Network), at the University of Surrey and the University of Wollongong, Australia. Her PhD research focused on assessing the air pollution reduction potential of various green infrastructure options in urban environments.
She is experienced in conducting air quality monitoring campaigns, handling research-grade instruments, and analysing air quality data. During her PhD, she successfully managed air pollution monitoring campaigns to investigate the air quality and exposure variability in different microenvironments in London, under the INHALE (Health assessment across biological length scales for personal pollution exposure and its mitigation) project funded by EPSRC. She also worked with Liverpool City Council in Sydney on air pollution exposure reduction using green barriers at a busy road traffic intersection.
At AQAM, she delivers Measurement Services, including the calibration of CPCs, FCEs, and DMAs. She also assists with advancements in the CPC calibration facility and has contributed to achieving UKAS accreditation for FCE and DMA calibration. Her contributions have also extended to supporting international comparisons (CCQM-K185/P237), where she played a key role in data capture and analysis.
Mamatha Tomson is an Associate Member of the Institution of Environmental Sciences (IES) and the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM).
