Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis
  • Gene

Anastasios Melis mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Photosystem II, Chloroplast, Botany and Photosystem I. His studies deal with areas such as Chlorophyll, Chlorophyta, Algae, Hydrogen production and Biomass as well as Photosynthesis. His Photosystem II research incorporates themes from Thylakoid, Plastoquinone and Biophysics.

As part of one scientific family, Anastasios Melis deals mainly with the area of Thylakoid, narrowing it down to issues related to the Photosynthetic reaction centre, and often Chlorophyll b. His study on Chloroplast is covered under Biochemistry. His study focuses on the intersection of Photosystem I and fields such as Light-harvesting complex with connections in the field of Proteomics and Gene.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparing photosynthetic and photovoltaic efficiencies and recognizing the potential for improvement. (1011 citations)
  • SUSTAINED PHOTOBIOLOGICAL HYDROGEN GAS PRODUCTION UPON REVERSIBLE INACTIVATION OF OXYGEN EVOLUTION IN THE GREEN ALGA CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII (862 citations)
  • Photosystem-II damage and repair cycle in chloroplasts: what modulates the rate of photodamage in vivo? (620 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Anastasios Melis spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, Photosystem II, Chloroplast, Thylakoid and Botany. The various areas that Anastasios Melis examines in his Photosynthesis study include Chlorophyll, Green algae, Algae, Cyanobacteria and Hydrogen production. In his study, Synechococcus is strongly linked to Photosystem, which falls under the umbrella field of Chlorophyll.

His Photosystem II research incorporates elements of Plastoquinone, Photochemistry and Photosynthetic reaction centre. His research on Chloroplast concerns the broader Biochemistry. His work is dedicated to discovering how Thylakoid, Biophysics are connected with Electron transport chain and Photosynthetic membrane and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (45.78%)
  • Photosystem II (36.95%)
  • Chloroplast (32.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (45.78%)
  • Biochemistry (29.32%)
  • Botany (29.72%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Anastasios Melis mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Botany, Cyanobacteria and Synechocystis. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Chlorophyll, Microorganism, Wild type and Biomass, Photobioreactor. In general Biochemistry study, his work on Terpenoid, Biosynthesis, Flux and Mevalonic acid often relates to the realm of Isoprene synthase, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His work on Photosynthetic efficiency and Monoterpene as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Antenna, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Mutant study combines topics in areas such as Thylakoid, Chloroplast and Cell biology. His Thylakoid research focuses on Biophysics and how it relates to Light intensity.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comparing photosynthetic and photovoltaic efficiencies and recognizing the potential for improvement. (1011 citations)
  • Optimizing Antenna Size to Maximize Photosynthetic Efficiency (191 citations)
  • Photobiological hydrogen production: Recent advances and state of the art (176 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

His primary areas of study are Photosynthesis, Botany, Cyanobacteria, Biochemistry and Metabolic engineering. His work deals with themes such as Hydrogen, Biomass, Photobioreactor, Synechocystis and Biofuel, which intersect with Photosynthesis. Anastasios Melis combines subjects such as Botryococcus and Photovoltaic system with his study of Biomass.

His Photobioreactor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental chemistry and Hydrogen production. His work on Photosynthetic efficiency and Chlorophyll as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Antenna, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the connection with Phycocyanin and areas like Biophysics which intersect with concerns in Wild type.
