Academic Career and Research Areas

The research activities of Prof. Meyer (b. 1948) have been focused in recent years on energy-saving measures for plant cultivation in greenhouses, the impact of artificial lighting on plant morphology and process documentation and analysis in plant cultivation.

Prof. Meyer studied horticultural science at Leibniz University in Hannover. He obtained his doctorate there in 1982 and completed his lecturer qualification in horticultural technology in 1988. Prof. Meyer accepted the offer of a position at TUM in 1989. He is actively involved in the German Society for Horticultural Science (DGG) and the International Society of Horticultural Science. The internationalization of horticultural science teaching is one of his particular interests.
