Andrew S. Brown

Dr Andrew Brown obtained a PhD in Chemistry in 1999 and has since worked at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington, UK, where he is currently a Senior Research Scientist in the Gas Metrology and Trace Analysis Group. Andrew leads the delivery of the energy gases work at NPL by developing accurate and traceable standards and methods to underpin measurements of natural gas, refinery gases, LPG & LNG, hydrogen purity and non-conventional gases (e.g. biogas). This work supports a large industrial sector that is rapidly evolving towards a low-carbon future. He is also responsible for the technical delivery of the UK Government’s polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) air quality monitoring network, which NPL operates for Defra. During his time at NPL, Andrew has led numerous technical projects, acted an as ISO 17025 accreditation consultant, and played a leading role in a number of international and national standardisation committees. In 2008, Andrew won the CITAC award for the ‘most important paper on metrology in chemistry’, for his work developing the first traceable measurements of mercury vapour in ambient air. Andrew is a Charted Chemist and a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
