Helen Czerski is a physicist, science presenter, and author known for her work in exploring the intersections of physics, oceanography, and everyday phenomena. She serves as a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London, where her research focuses on ocean bubbles and their impact on climate. Czerski regularly presents BBC programs on physics, the ocean, and atmospheric science, including series such as "Colour: The Spectrum of Science," "Orbit," and "Operation Iceberg." Her writing extends to a monthly column, "Everyday Science," for BBC Focus magazine, which was shortlisted for a Professional Publishers Association Award.
Beyond her academic and broadcasting career, Czerski has contributed extensively to public science communication through articles in national newspapers and magazine features. Her ability to distill complex scientific concepts into engaging narratives has made her a sought-after commentator on topics ranging from weather patterns to sensory perception. Born in Manchester and based in London, she continues to bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding through her writing and media appearances.
