Maarten Wassenaar

Maarten Wassenaar is a PhD candidate and Education/Research Officer at Wageningen University & Research's Horticulture & Product Physiology department. His research focuses on plant physiology and photosynthesis, particularly the effects of far-red light and spectral composition on photosynthetic efficiency and carbon dioxide diffusion dynamics.

• Affiliation: Wageningen University & Research
• Department: Horticulture & Product Physiology

His work combines experimental and computational approaches to analyze photosynthesis acclimation under varying light conditions. Key research areas include:

• Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) regulation
• Far-red light supplementation effects
• Photosystem efficiency optimization
• Isotope discrimination during gas exchange
