Christopher Cammies is a Teaching Associate (Senior Demonstrator) with a focus on the ecological significance of nematodes as environmental indicators in soil ecosystems, specifically in agricultural settings. His research investigates nematode assemblages within the temperate rainforests of the UK and their potential as predictive indicators for soil organic carbon levels. Cammies is adept at developing and validating molecular methods for the identification of nematodes from environmental samples, an area known for its morphological identification challenges. Additionally, he explores sustainable food production systems from a regulatory and marketing perspective, examining the environments surrounding innovative food production methodologies. His pedagogic research advocates for the application of critical thinking and the effective use of Bloom’s taxonomy and constructive alignment in assessment methods, focusing on the relatively understudied role of graduate teaching assistants in enhancing student learning.
Department of Physics research themes include Astrophysics, Materials and Devices, Particle Physics, and Quantum and Soft Matter.
