Susanne von Caemmerer

Susanne von Caemmerer is a professor and plant physiologist in the Division of Plant Sciences, Research School of Biology at the Australian National University;[1] and the Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis.[2] She has been a leader in developing and refining biochemical models of photosynthesis.[3]

Career and research

After receiving a BA in mathematics in 1976 from Australian National University, she received her PhD in plant physiology in 1981.[4][5] With Graham Farquhar and Joe Berry, her early work in plant physiology led to the development of a biochemical model of C3 photosynthesis.[6] The model that mathematically describes the balance of photosynthetic limitations between light-driven energy supply and carbon diffusion substrate supply has become a cornerstone of research into photosynthesis at the leaf-level and carbon fluxes at larger scales.

She currently serves on the editorial board of the journal Plant, Cell & Environment.[7]

Honors and awards

She was awarded the Charles F. Kettering Award in recognition of her excellence in the field of photosynthesis in 2014 by the American Society of Plant Biologists.[8]

She has been a fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences and Leopoldina since 2006.[9][10]
