5 questions: Prof. Sebastian Leuzinger
There’s still a lot we don’t know about how plants exchange water and carbon, and Professor Sebastian Leuzinger hopes we can get brainpower from new researchers to study the area.
We asked Professor Leuzinger five questions ahead of his Inaugural Professorial Address – he discussed his research on plants and their environments, his most impactful research project and what motivates him.
“Studying these phenomena in trees is very difficult because the moment you open up a tree, you disturb the system. So, in fact, we know very little about plant ecophysiology. And I think, we can hopefully get some brainpower and young people to study this more.”
