معرفی
Professor Andrew Fleming is Chair in Plant Science at the University of Sheffield's School of Biosciences, leading research on leaf development and guard cell mechanics. His work integrates cell biology, computational modeling, and biomechanical analyses to study plant cellular architecture and its impact on photosynthesis and water-use efficiency.
- PhD in Plant Biology, University of Cambridge (1988)
- Habilitation, University of Bern (1996)
Research interests include:
- Mechanisms of leaf morphogenesis
- Guard cell wall mechanics and stomatal function
- Meristem transitions and biochemical shifts
- 3D cellular patterning in grasses
- Evolutionary plant development
His 15 most recent publications focus on:
- Guard cell biophysics in grasses
- Genetic control of mesophyll porosity
- NADH complex regulation in C4 photosynthesis
- Cell wall modifications for water-use efficiency
- Computational models of leaf anatomy
- Elevated CO2 impacts on rice development
Scientific awards:
- Leverhulme Research Fellow (2015-16)
- Swiss National Science Foundation START Fellowship (1998-2004)
- EMBO Fellowship (1990)
- Bye-Fellowship Magdalene College (1986)
Advising and grants include mentoring 10 PhD students and securing major funding from BBSRC, Gatsby Foundation, and Wolfson Foundation for plant phenotyping and photosynthesis optimization projects.
