Alison Sarah Tomlin is a British physical chemist and applied mathematician whose research involves building detailed mathematical models of combustion, including uncertainty quantification for those models.
She is a professor in the School of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds, where she heads the Clean Combustion Research Group.
She continued at Leeds as a graduate student in physical chemistry,[1] completing her dissertation Bifurcation analysis for non-linear chemical kinetics in 1990.
[1] With Tamás Turányi, Tomlin is coauthor of the book Analysis of Kinetic Reaction Mechanisms (Springer, 2014).
A paper coauthored by Tomlin won the 1992 Sugden Award of The Combustion Institute.
