Dr. Fabio Fiorani

I received the B.S. degree in agricultural sciences from the University of Milan, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree in plant ecophysiology from the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. I held post-doctoral positions at Duke University, NC, USA, and at the Flemish Institute of Biotechnology, Plant Systems Biology, Ghent, Belgium, from 2001 to 2007. From 2007 to 2010, I was a Senior Scientist with Crop Design, BASF Plant Science in Ghent, Belgium. Since 2010, I led a multi-disciplinary group at the Institute of Plant Sciences (Jülich Plant Phenotyping Center - JPPC), Forschungszentrum Jülich, focusing on development and application of screening methods for quantifying plant growth dynamics nondestructively. I currently continue research on plant acclimation to environmental stresses as a senior scientist at FZJ-IBG-2 in the JPPC research group.
