Wah Chow
Regular biography
Wah Chow is a Research Scientist at The Australian National University's Research School of Biology. His research focuses on the physiology, biophysics, and biochemistry of plant photosynthesis, including light-induced electron and proton transport under environmental stress, thylakoid structure and function, and photoprotection of Photosystem II. He has been involved in several research projects, including an ARC Discovery Project grant from 2010-13. His work explores the structural organisation and function of photosynthetic membranes in varied environments.
Scholar-generated biography
Wah Soon Chow is a researcher in the School of Biology at the Australian National University, focusing on photosynthesis. Their work explores the mechanisms of light absorption, energy conversion, and photoprotection in plants. Key areas include the role of green light in photosynthesis, acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to environmental cues, and the impact of UV-B radiation on plant physiology. Chow's research also investigates photoinhibition, thylakoid membrane organization, and the regulation of photosystem stoichiometry to enhance quantum efficiency. Additionally, they examine the effects of salinity, drought, and cyclic electron flow on photosynthetic performance. Their studies contribute to understanding how plants adapt to environmental stress and optimize energy use.
