Research Interests

• To understand the limitations to C₄ photosynthesis and the adaptation of the process to cooler climates.
• Advance the development of accessible mechanistic mathematical models relating environmental effects on photosynthesis to plant productivity (see: http://www.life.illinois.edu/plantbio/wimovac/).
• Establish the potential of mitigation of atmospheric change through the development of herbaceous energy crops.
• To understand crop responses to global atmospheric and climate change.
• To understand mechanisms of plant responses to both rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and tropospheric ozone, with particular reference to photosynthesis and relating changes at the molecular and biochemical level to observations of whole systems in the field.
