As plant Ecophysiologist I feel fascinated about how photosynthetic organisms survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Light, water availability and temperature are the key physical drivers of carbon fixation, globally. The astonishing biodiversity of photosynthetic organisms, though, offers a wide range of natural case studies to disentangle how an to which extent photosynthesis takes and will take place on a changing environment.
My research is focused on the ecophysiological mechanisms that determine organism survival and that drive fitness in response to environmental constraints, covering an extraordinarily diverse bench of wild taxa, with a multidisciplinary approach (physics, biochemistry and ecology), and from a multiscale perspective: from single molecules to whole ecosystems.
