Kelvin Acebron

Forschungszentrum Jülich
Kelvin Acebron is a PhD student at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. His study focuses on understanding the temporal dynamics of photosynthesis in a leaf level using Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF). This involves understanding the mechanistic link between Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) and Photochemistry as affected by different physiological mechanisms of Non Photochemical Quenching (NPQ). The first part of his research was focused on a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana having specific mutations in NPQ.  He then decided to transfer from a model plant to Cassava crop to focus on understanding the NPQ adjustments in fluctuating light as well as its consequence on photosynthesis and SIF signal.
