Research Interests

• Food Marketing
• Consumer Behavior
• Business Administration of agribusinesses
• Use of new technologies in Agriculture
• Rural Development and alternative activities

• Research work aiming on the improvement of yield and quality of deciduous fruit trees in local environmental conditions and optimizing production cost.
• Modern cropping systems and agricultural practices in deciduous fruit-trees.
• Evaluation of Cherry Varieties (Prunus avium L.)
• Ex situ evaluation of local pomegranate clones (Punica granatum L.)
• Integrated Fruit Production- Sustainable Horticulture

• The global release of industrial and agricultural chemicals has resulted in widespread environmental pollution. I am very interested to study the effects of these pollutants on the ecology and function of soil microbial communities using biochemical (PLFA) and molecular biology techniques. Additionally the implementation of analytical chemistry regarding the fate of these pollutants in the environment will also help us to understand their relation with microbial community.
• The isolation of microorganisms from the Cyprus environment and their implementation in favor of agriculture, industry and the environment. Mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen free living bacteria, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria are important microbial groups that have been recognized as plant growth promoting microorganisms.
• Microbial formulation and bioreactors (biofilters).

• Breeding durum wheat, bread wheat, triticale
• Legume Genetics
• Breeding Winemaking Vines
• Effect of recycled water in the expression of plant genes
• Use of cereals and legumes in organic farming
• Cereal and legume evaluation under stress conditions

• Evaluation of Crop production systems and practices of ornamentals
• Cultivation of ornamental species under the climatic conditions in Cyprus
• Evaluation of endemic species of Cyprus flora for potential use in commercial floriculture
