Adam Wyness

Biography

Adam Wyness achieved his BSc in Biology from Bangor University in 2012. His dissertation project was a continuation of an SfAM funded ‘Students into Work’ project he worked on in 2011, focussing on the role of estuarine suspended particulate material in the persistence of Escherichia coli in estuaries. This led him to a PhD on ‘The influence of sediment characteristics on the abundance and distribution of E. coli in estuarine sediments’ that was a joint studentship between the Human and Animal Pathogens in the Environment group at The James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, and the Sediment Ecology Research Group (SERG) here at the University of St Andrews.
