Biography
Ceri Gwyther has been working in environmental science since 1998 when she first studied Environmental Biology. Despite a brief sojourn into Conservation and Land Management (MSc), Ceri found that she was drawn to saving the planet by understanding life on the micro-scale. In 2008, Ceri returned to education and completed her PhD in bioreduction (the biodegradation of animal carcasses in a sealed unit containing mesophilic, aerated water by utilising the intrinsic microbial communities) which offered the perfect opportunity of blending environmental science with microbiology. Whilst finishing up her PhD she was offered a postdoctoral position where she was asked to investigate the efficacy of UV disinfection on the destruction of faecal bacteria in wastewater. When an opportunity arose at the Open University, Ceri chose to pursue a career as a Project Officer (Microbiology). Ceri’s current research is focussed on the implications of bioaerosols on human health
