Susanne von Caemmerer ForMemRS 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][4]

Education

von Caemmerer received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics in 1976 from Australian National University, she received her PhD in plant physiology in 1981.[3][2][5]

Career and Research

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]

Honours 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 was elected a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science[9] , the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 2006[10] and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2017. [11]
