Rosamund joins Imperial College in an Honorary role

As the Founder, Director, and Trustee of the Ella Roberta Foundation, Rosamund has become one of the leading voices worldwide in the fight for cleaner air. As part of her work she campaigns for stronger air quality legislation and to improve public awareness of the health impacts of air pollution.

Her advocacy has shaped key policies, including her work with the Mayor of London on the Healthy London Partnership and her contribution to expanding London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Within the Environmental Research Group, she serves as a Senior Advisor to the AWAIR project, a pilot project funded by Impact on Urban Health, which installs air quality displays in London neighbourhoods to inform and empower local residents.

Rosamund’s influence has been widely recognised. In 2023, she was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to public health. She is also a World Health Organization BreatheLife  Ambassador and an Honorary Fellow of the British Science Association.

Professor Frank Kelly, Director of the Environmental Research Group, highlighted the significance of Rosamund’s appointment:”Rosamund has collaborated with the ERG at numerous events, providing valuable insights and driving knowledge exchange. Through this honorary role, she will deepen her collaboration with the Environmental Research Group and the wider Imperial community, advocating for clean air on a global stage.
With this appointment, Rosamund’s impactful work will further bridge research, policy, and public engagement, helping to shape a healthier future for all.

On her appointment, Rosamund said: “I’m delighted to be working with the prestigious team at Imperial through this Honorary role. Utilising my experience, both as a teacher, researcher and as a global advocate for air quality, I am looking forward to creating meaningful change by bridging the gap between Imperial’s world class research in this field, and the decision makers and members of the public who need to know about the devastating impact of air pollution on our health.”
