Professor Prashant Kumar is Associate Dean (International) for the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Chair in Air Quality and Health and the founding Director of the Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) at the University of Surrey, UK. He is the founder of successfully running Guildford Living Lab, head of the GCARE’s Air Quality Laboratory, an Adjunct Professor at the School of Engineering at the Trinity College Dublin in Ireland since March 2018, and a Guest Professor at the Southeast University China since June 2021. He was the Deputy Director of Research for the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering during 2018-2021.
He received his PhD (Engineering) from the University of Cambridge after winning a Cambridge-Nehru Scholarship and an Overseas Research Scholarship Award, and earned his MTech (Environmental Engineering & Management) from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi with CGPA 9.8/10 and rank 1. Prior to his PhD, he worked at a research institute and in the industrial sector for about 8 years. After his PhD, he joined the University of Surrey as Lecturer (2009-2012) and subsequently worked as Senior Lecturer (2012-2015), Reader (2015-2017) and Professor (2017-). He was awarded the University of Surrey's Vice-Chancellors Award for his outstanding research in 2017.
His fundamental and application-oriented cross-disciplinary research is focused on the interfaces of clean air engineering/science, human health and smart/sustainable living in cities/megacities. His research builds an understanding of the formation and emission of particles, both from vehicle exhausts and non-vehicular sources. He investigates their contribution to pollution, especially in megacity contexts. He is developing approaches to low-cost sensing and contributing to the development of exposure control technology and guidelines for policymakers to curtail pollution exposure in cities, with associated health benefits.
His current research projects are focused on broad multidisciplinary areas of air pollution monitoring/modelling, low-cost sensing, nature-based solutions, climate change mitigation and developing innovative technological and passive (e.g. green infrastructure) solutions for air pollution exposure control for both developing and developed world. He is currently the lead PI on the UKRI (EPRC, NERC, AHRC) funded RECLAIM Network Plus.
A prolific author with about 300 articles in top-ranked journals (h-index 61; i10-index 222; citations >15,000), his research has secured over £10.5 million of individual funding from projects total worth over £30M, funded by the RCUK (e.g, EPSRC, ESRC, NERC, AHRC, MRC, HEFCE, British Council, Innovate UK, Research England, GCRF), industry, international funding bodies (e.g., European Commission, Qatar National Research Foundation, Commonwealth Commission, FAPESP) and charities (e.g. Ove Arup Foundation, RSA, Impact on Urban Health, Global Action Plan). He has developed a network of collaborators across four continents, serving on editorial boards of several international journals (e.g. Scientific Reports, Science of the Total Environment) and scientific evaluation panels of numerous funding agencies. He is Editor-in-Chief of the air quality section of the ‘Atmosphere’ journal (since July 2020) and founding Speciality Chief Editor of the ‘Climate Change & Cities’ section of Frontiers in Environmental Science journal.
He serves editorial board of numerous journals, advises local/international bodies on air pollution, and reviews proposals for many funding agencies worldwide. His research has featured in well-read media outlets such as the BBC and The Times
He is advising local/national/international agencies on air pollution and urban nexus and his research has featured in well-read media outlets such as the BBC and The Times. Further details on his work can be found here.

Research interests
The focus of Prashant's research is to understand the impact of both conventional and emerging air pollutants from transport, industrial and non-vehicle sources on air quality, public health and the built infrastructure, in order to develop engineering driven solutions and regulatory strategies for their mitigation.
A major thrust area of his research is atmospheric aerosols and nanoparticles, their physicochemical characterisation and measurement using advanced instrumentation, dispersion modelling with numerical, wind tunnel and Computational Fluid Dynamics tools for developing simple dispersion models for vehicle wake, street and city scales.
In general, his overall research efforts fall under the following themes:
(i) Atmospheric ultrafine/nanoparticles and aerosols
- Behaviour, fate and exposure assessment of airborne nano/ultrafine particles and aerosols
- Measurements, emission and dispersion modelling at very fine (vehicle wake), street and city scales
- Characterisation of emissions from non-vehicle sources (e.g., building construction and demolition activities)
- Personal exposure modelling in transport microenvironments
- Particle dispersion in indoor environments
- Indoor/outdoor exchange of particles
(ii) Urban Air Quality
- Air pollution modelling and exposure assessment (traffic intersections, street canyons and cities)
- Vehicular emission modelling for cities/megacities
- Air pollution impacts on the sustainability of built infrastructure
- Energy-pollution nexus for urban buildings/cities/megacities
- Environmental sustainability of growing cities/megacities
- Air pollution sensing
(iii) Wind Engineering
- Wind flows and pollutant dispersion in urban areas
- Wind loading on tall buildings and aerodynamics of bridges
- Wind flow characteristics around wind turbines
