Biography
His research focuses on plant cultivation for environmentally friendly cultivation systems, including root development and stress resistance as well as the analysis of androgenetic fundamentals.
Research Interest
Peter Stamp has been full Professor of Crop Production and Plant Breeding (today Agronomy and Plant Breeding) in the Institute of Plant Science at the ETH Zurich since September 1, 1988. He is primarily engaged in the fundamentals of environmentally friendly cultivation systems. Prof. Stamp was born on August 20, 1945 in Schleswig, Germany. He studied and completed his doctorate and his habilitation at the Christian Albrecht University in Kiel. He was appointed professor of plant cultivation at the University Kassel on 1 April 1985 and Professor Ordinarius of Crop Production and Plant Breeding at the ETH Zurich on 1 April 1988. His research focuses on plant cultivation for environmentally friendly cultivation systems, including root development and stress resistance as well as the analysis of androgenetic fundamentals. This research is generally carried out in interdisciplinary programs at national and international levels. In view of the precarious situation of feeding the world population in the future, such relevant topics are coordinated in the framework of international agricultural projects.
