Dr Florian Busch is a theoretical and experimental plant physiologist interested in all aspects of photosynthesis. His focus is on linking different photosynthetic processes with mathematical models to study the biochemical limitations of carbon fixation and to gain a quantitative understanding of how plant carbon uptake responds to changes in the environment.

Dr Diego Márquez is a Plant Physiologist who combines theoretical biophysics and experimental approaches to develop mechanistic models for gas exchange, carbon fixation, and hydraulic systems in plants. His work at the Busch Lab focuses on CO₂ gradients and resistances to CO₂ diffusion in mesophyll's intercellular air space and liquid volume.

The Web Master is the unseen force ensuring the lab’s digital world stays online and functional. A specialist in keeping things running smoothly—from managing servers to fixing mysterious glitches—this role operates in the shadows, making sure everything just works. Few know their true identity, but as long as the website loads and emails don’t bounce, we’ve learned not to ask too many questions.
