LONG, Steve
Steve Long FRS is Gutgesell Endowed University of Illinois Professor of Crop Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society (London). He obtained his BS (1st Class Honors) in Agriculture at the University of Reading, UK and Ph.D. in Plant Sciences at Leeds University. He worked previously for Tate & Lyle Co., the University of Essex and Brookhaven National Laboratory. His research spans from plant molecular biology and in silico crop design to field analysis of the performance of novel bioenergy crops and impacts of atmospheric change on food crops in the field. His group has developed dynamic and steady-state models to guide improvement of crop photosynthetic efficiency. He has identified the most productive plants so far known from the wild and the attributes that set these plants apart. He was the first to show the potential of Miscanthus as a high productivity crop for sustainable bioenergy on both sides of the Atlantic. He has over 400 publications in peer reviewed journals, including Science and Nature, and an H-Index of 78. With Chris Somerville he successfully bid in the competition for the Energy Bioscience Institute, which resulted in the UCBerkeley-Illinois EBI a $35M award over 10 years from BP. Steve served as Director of the Illinois part of the EBI from 2007-2012, when he stepped down to become Director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project on Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE). He is co-Founder of two companies, SC4 Corp and GCS LLC addressing mitigation of climate change through agriculture. He is listed by Thomson Reuters ISI as one of the Most Highly Cited Authors in Plant and Animal Biology, and was listed as one of “The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds of 2014” ScienceWatch.com. In the last two years he was recognized with the Marsh Award for Climate Change Research from the British Ecological Society, the Kettering Award from the American Society of Plant Biologists, and the Innovation Award of the International Society for Photosynthesis Research. He was the 4th Annual Riley Memorial Lecturer of the World Food Prize and AAAS. He serves in advisory roles on key agricultural committees worldwide, including the European Commission’s Joint Programming Initiative on Energy, Food and Agriculture, the US Federal Biomass Technical Advisory Committee, the German Cluster of Excellence in Plant Sciences and as a Fellow of Rothamsted Research. He is currently The Newton-Abrams Visiting Professor of the University of Oxford (UK) and a Visiting Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
