Susanne von Caemmerer

Susanne von Caemmerer is an Emeritus Professor at The Australian National University's Research School of Biology. Her research focuses on CO2 fixation and water loss of leaves, investigating aspects of carbon acquisition by plants, including the biochemistry of CO2 fixation and regulation of CO2 diffusion into and within leaves. Current research topics include the biochemical regulation of C3 and C4 photosynthesis, physiological and molecular regulation of stomatal movement, and CO2 diffusion inside leaves. She is affiliated with the von Caemmerer Group, which explores CO2 fixation and water loss of leaves.

Von Caemmerer is a Professor of Biology at The Australian National University, specializing in the biochemical and physiological mechanisms of photosynthesis. His research focuses on understanding the processes of CO2 assimilation in C3 and C4 plants, the impact of environmental factors on photosynthetic efficiency, and the development of models to predict plant responses to changing atmospheric CO2 levels. He has contributed significantly to the study of mesophyll conductance, the Mehler reaction, and the genetic engineering of crops to enhance photosynthesis. His work has implications for sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation.
