Anja Tremper

Dr Anja Tremper is a Research Fellow at the School of Public Health (Faculty of Medicine) at Imperial College London, affiliated with the Environmental Research Group. Her work focuses on aerosol science, particularly the physical/chemical characterization of particulate matter and source apportionment for health/policy applications. She leads operations at one of London's atmospheric 'supersites', deploying advanced measurement techniques like ACSM and XACT XRF.

Her research integrates filter-based analysis with real-time monitoring to quantify pollution sources such as wood burning (levoglucosan tracers) and traffic emissions. Methodological innovations include stochastic machine learning models for health impact analysis and Bayesian approaches for particle size distribution studies. She has contributed to pan-European projects like the European Aerosol Phenomenology series and led studies during the ClearfLo project analyzing winter aerosol dynamics in London.

Key contributions include demonstrating legacy lead contamination in London's atmosphere and quantifying non-exhaust emissions' health impacts through the IONA protocol. Her work bridges environmental chemistry with public health, emphasizing actionable data for policy development.
