Christa Critchley is a distinguished researcher in basic and applied photosynthesis research. Her research has centered on the structure and function of chloroplasts and the application of chlorophyll fluorescence to understanding the way PSII works. In her research, she used two biophysical tools, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence, as well as several other biochemical and plant physiological methods. Later in her career, she pioneered research in artificial photosynthesis (AP) focusing on the process of light-mediated water splitting and oxygen evolution. Here, only a glimpse of her life and some selected research is included.
克里斯塔·克里奇利是基础与应用光合作用研究领域的杰出研究员。她的研究主要围绕叶绿体的结构与功能，以及利用叶绿素荧光来理解光系统II的工作方式展开。在研究中，她运用了两种生物物理工具，即核磁共振（NMR）和叶绿素（Chl）荧光，以及其他多种生化和植物生理学方法。在其职业生涯后期，她率先开展了人工光合作用（AP）研究，重点关注光介导的水分解和氧气释放过程。在此，仅简要介绍她的生平及部分精选研究。
