Assistant Professor
Short CV Presentation

Assistant Professor of the Pomology laboratory of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) from 2024. My research interests focus on the study of nutritional elements related to fruit physiology and ripening, factors affecting fruit quality and the understanding of molecular mechanisms in abiotic stresses of fruit trees using high-throughput molecular techniques (-omics) such as metabolomics, proteomics and comparative genomic analysis. From my research activity until now, 48 scientific papers, 1 literature review article, 1 chapter in an international book and 1 editorial letter in peer-reviewed scientific journals have been published. My h-index is 19/21 and the total citations are 888/1066 based on data from www.scopus.com and scholar.google.com databases, respectively. At the same time, I have presented / participated in 20 and 61 oral presentations or posters in international and national conferences. I have taught the courses Citrus and Tropical Fruits / Horticultural Biology / Small Fruits and participated in 2 educational programs. I have received 2 competitive grants and participated as a research team member in 5 competitive and 11 non-competitive projects. For the implementation and writing of the papers I have collaborated with a total of 107 co-authors of all levels. I have done reviews as a reviewer in 74 articles (22 titles of scientific journals belonging to SCI). I am also editor of 3 special issues and a member of the editorial team of the scientific journal Horticulturae.
