Mark Waters graduated with an Honours degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford in 2001 and completed his PhD at the University of Nottingham in 2004. He started his research career focusing on the molecular genetic basis of plant development, with particular interest in their adaptive capabilities. His postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford focused on nuclear transcription factors and chloroplast development. In 2010, he joined the University of Western Australia (UWA) where he expanded his research to include plant hormone perception and growth regulators, particularly karrikins. Waters has successfully led his own research group since 2016, generating 30 peer-reviewed publications in high impact journals. His current research interests include the genetic molecular basis of plant development, hormone signaling mechanisms in plants, and evolution. He has received various grants to support his work, allowing him to explore new signaling compounds, plant performance, and the interactions between light and smoke signals in plant development.
