Wim van Ieperen

Wim van Ieperen is an Associate Professor at Wageningen University, specializing in Horticulture & Product Physiology. His research focuses on light's role in plant physiology, including photosynthesis, photoperiodic flowering, and cut-flower quality.

• Current Projects:
  • Root environment optimization for plant growth
  • Far-red light effects on shade-grown plant photosynthesis
  • Dynamic light spectrum impacts via LEDs

Research Trends: His recent work emphasizes far-red light, non-photochemical quenching, and photoperiodic responses, with applications in Chrysanthemum, Poinsettia, and Kalanchoe. Collaborations include Lazzarin, Marcelis, and Harbinson.

Advising and Leadership: He supervises multiple PhD candidates, including Liu, S. and Malleshaiah, S., focusing on physiological mechanisms in plant growth and photosynthesis.
