Round-table discussion: identify model amendments to simulate in silico dynamics of NPQ and other regulatory mechanisms in different organisms

I don’t remember, as a child or teenager, ever wanting to become a researcher. This desire was born during my master’s internship at the interface between physics, which I had been studying until then, and biology, which I was discovering. It was chance that led me to study the photosynthetic process and it was a chance: I found this biological object reassuring, well enough understood to be conceived largely with familiar concepts of physics and chemistry. From now on, I am interested in the diversity of this process in phytoplankton, the mechanisms allowing it to adapt to the variable environmental conditions of the marine world and the phenomena of competition between the marine microalgae constituting phytoplankton. An important aspect of my work is to test in the field the hypotheses and models resulting from laboratory research.
