deputy Shoot Dynamics, head field phenotyping

focus on sustainable solutions to improve plant production for a sustainable agriculture. Key areas include plant phenotyping, analysis of plant-environment interactions, and the development of alternative biomass sources. By integrating molecular, physiological, and ecological approaches, we support the bioeconomy and promote resource efficiency and adaptation to changing climate conditions.

Onno Muller is interested in understanding and quantifying how and why plants respond to their environment using and developing novel sensors and positing systems for non-invasive proximal measurements. These contribute to answer pressing questions such as ensuring food security by crop improvement and sustainable agriculture, mitigating climate change by plants CO2 uptake and its renewable resources supporting the bioeconomy.

With his group he employs innovative technologies such as the light-induced fluorescence transient (LIFT) method to measure photosynthesis and has conceptualized positioning systems like the "Fieldsnake" and "Fieldweasel" for precise, non-invasive measurements in field environments. He is actively involved in national and international projects like CASS, Phenorob, AgriFEE, and BreedFACE, which explore plant performance under varying conditions, such as elevated CO₂ or agrivoltaics
