Biography

Claudia Keitel is an Associate Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, where she focuses on the physiology of plants and their responses to environmental stress. With a strong academic background, including a Biologie Diplom from Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg and a PhD from the same institution, she has developed expertise in stable isotope techniques. Claudia's research interests revolve around understanding the isotopic composition of plant parts, such as leaves and roots, and its implications for plant physiology and water use efficiency. She is involved in various projects, including the investigation of water use physiology of Eucalyptus species and the impacts of environmental changes on native ecosystems. Additionally, she has established a mass spectrometry laboratory at the Plant Breeding Institute in Cobbitty, NSW, which is dedicated to research using isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Claudia's work significantly contributes to key research areas such as climate change, food security, and sustainability.
