Susanne von Caemmerer is an Australian plant physiologist who is a professor and plant physiologist in the Division of Plant Sciences, Research School of Biology at the Australian National University;^[1] and the Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis.^[2] She has been a leader in developing and refining biochemical models of photosynthesis.^[3]^[4]

von Caemmerer received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics in 1976 from Australian National University, she received her PhD in plant physiology in 1981.^[3]^[2]^[5]

Career and Research

Scholia has a profile for Susanne von Caemmerer (Q25999486).

With Graham Farquhar and Joe Berry, her early work in plant physiology led to the development of a biochemical model of C3 photosynthesis.^[6] The model that mathematically describes the balance of photosynthetic limitations between light-driven energy supply and carbon diffusion substrate supply has become a cornerstone of research into photosynthesis at the leaf-level and carbon fluxes at larger scales.

She currently^[when?] serves on the editorial board of the journal Plant, Cell & Environment.^[7]

Honours and awards

She was awarded the Charles F. Kettering Award in recognition of her excellence in the field of photosynthesis in 2014 by the American Society of Plant Biologists.^[8]

She was elected a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science,^[9] the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 2006^[10] and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2017.^[11]

In 2021, she and John Endler were jointly awarded the inaugural Suzanne Cory Medal for Biomedical Sciences.^[12]

In 2025 she was awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society.^[13]
