Research

Systems Biophysics of photosynthesis

The aim of Systems biophysics is to develop compartmental, spectral, and thermodynamic models that describe complex photosynthetic systems. Such models are based upon measured time-resolved absorption and emission spectra, which are two-dimensional data sets. Global and target analysis methods and software have been developed to identify the model and estimate the biophysical parameters that describe all data.
