Michael Groszmann was a postdoctoral fellow at The Australian National University (ANU). His research aims to understand and manipulate the role of aquaporins in carbon dioxide diffusion inside leaves in order to improve photosynthesis and subsequently plant growth and yields. For the RIPE project, Michael focused on mesophyll conductance. He earned his doctorate from Monash University's School of Biological Sciences, and was a postdoctoral fellow and research scientist with The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) prior to his arrival at ANU. His work is published in multiple journals, including Plant Physiology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Plant Cell and Environment.
