Assistant Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens, Department of Crop Science, Laboratory of Plant Breeding and Biometry. Her research interests include the molecular breeding of cultivated to withstand abiotic / biotic stresses with emphasis on -omic technologies, the investigation of epigenetic mechanisms that lead to adaptability to adverse environments and the study of genetic variability of cultivated species and wild relatives.
She has 49 publications in peer reviewed international journals, she has participated in the translation of 3 textbooks and several book chapters (>850 citations, h index 20- https://www.scopus.com/results/authorNamesList.uri?name=name&st1=TANI&st2=Eleni&origin=searchauthorlookup), has participated in several international and national conferences and has been a reviewer and editorial board for international scientific journals (Stresses, Agronomy, Frontiers in Plant Science).
She is the supervisor of 4 PhD candidates, and has supervised more than 10 postgraduate dissertations and over 30 undergraduate theses.
She collaborates with students daily between 12:00 and 15:00 pm after prior arrangement (tel: 4625, email: etani@aua.gr).
Her office is in the Papadaki building, 1st floor, Laboratory of Plant Breeding and Biometry.
