Biography

My research group studies a range of topics related to photosynthesis. These include the biochemical mechanisms underlying photosynthetic electron transfer and its exploitation for renewable energy production.

Research

Biophotovoltaics (use of photosynthetic microorganisms to generate small amounts of electrical power) and electrochemistry as a tool for modulating gene expression.
