Television presenter

Helen Czerski (b. 1978) is a British physicist and oceanographer and television presenter. She is an associate professor in the department of mechanical engineering at University College London.[4] [5] [6] She was previously at the Institute for Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton.[7]

Early life and education

Czerski was brought up in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, and educated at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls.[8] She graduated from the University of Cambridge where she was a student at Churchill College, Cambridge, with degrees Master of Arts and Master of Science in Natural Sciences (Physics) and a PhD[9] in experimental explosives physics, particularly Research Department Explosive (RDX).[1]

Career

Czerski is a regular science presenter for the BBC. Her programmes[10] [11] have included:

She has also appeared on The Museum of Curiosity (BBC Radio 4) and is an occasional presenter of the web TV and podcast show Fully Charged. She regularly appears on The Cosmic Shambles Network and co-hosts their podcasts and web series Science Shambles and They've Made Us with Robin Ince. Czerski is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal in the column "Everyday Physics".[25] For her "Everyday Science" column in BBC Focus magazine, Czerski was shortlisted for columnist of the year at the 2014 PPA Awards.[26]

Awards

In 2018 Czerski won the William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics for her contributions to championing the physics of everyday life to a worldwide audience of millions through TV programmes, a popular science book, newspaper columns, and public talks.[27] Czerski was made an Honorary Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge in 2020.[28] She received an Honorary Doctorate in Science from the University of East Anglia in 2023.[29]

Research

Czerski's research focuses on temperature, ocean bubbles, bubble acoustics, air-sea gas transfer and ocean bubble optics.[7] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]
