New Preprint - GreenSloth: a curated database and executable platform for mechanistic photosynthesis models

Published at Jul 26, 2026

Author: Elouen Corvest

After tedious development, Elouen has finally finished his thesis on the GreenSloth project in early 2026. As this project has the potential to help the world of computational photosynthesis models, it has become a cooperative effort. The entire Matuszyńska Lab was invited to take part to conclude the first, but not last, group paper. Most members have joined the efforts, differing in their contributions and expertise. After approximately two months of effort, the project is ready to be published. While the paper is now under review, it has already been uploaded to bioRxiv as a preprint.

The publication can be found here: https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.07.22.740007 and the project can be used here: greensloth.rwth-aachen.de

The aim for this project is to live on as a community effort, fostering collaboration and advancing the field of computational photosynthesis modeling, especially with ODE models. So if you have any model you wish to see on the website, please feel free to contribute!
