Donghee Hoh is a research associate at the Michigan State University-DOE Plant Research Laboratory under supervision of David M. Kramer. She received her Bachelor of Science degree and Global Entrepreneurship, Master of Science degree in life science from Handong Global University. Her research addresses understanding “How Nature Tuned and Tweaked Photosynthesis to Modulate in Responses to Dynamic Environments”. In order to ask this question to NATURE, she has developed and tested a conceptual approach, which connects multiple disciplines, ranging from biophysics, bioenergetics to lipid biochemistry and spectroscopy to quantitative genomics. She is working on the detailed mechanisms from this approach and data from the real world and dynamic environmental conditions. The research has found several key mechanisms that do not fit the canonical model. Furthermore, the research has indicated that nature developed a very sophisticated system to avoid photodamage, which is totally different from the results found in laboratory conditions.
