Chow, Wah - The Australian National University

个人简介

Fred Chow obtained his BSc (Hons) in 1972 (Univ. Of Tasmania) and his PhD in 1977 (Flinders University). From 1977 to 1991, he held term appointments at Imperial College London, the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute (UK) and CSIRO Plant Industry (Canberra). From 1991 to 1996, he was employed by CSIRO Plant Industry indefinitely at a level up to Senior Principal Research Scientist. Since 1996, he has held term appointments at ANU. He has been an Editor for Physiologia Plantarum since 1996, and an ISI Highly Cited Researcher in Plant & Animal Science. A major focus of his research is the structural organisation and function of photosynthetic membranes and their supramolecular components in vitro and in leaves in varied environments.

研究领域

The physiology, biophysics and biochemistry of plant photosynthesis, including: light-induced electron and proton transport in leaves under environmental stress; thylakoid structure and function, particularly dynamic architecture; and photoprotection and photoinactivation of Photosystem II.
