Professor of Genetics and Plant Breeding and Director of the Laboratory of Plant Breeding and Biometry. His research interests focus on the genetic analysis and breeding of cultivated plants and other plant species of economic importance, using modern molecular technologies and field experimentation. He participates in national and international research projects, serves on the editorial boards of international scientific journals, and has an extensive scientific record, including publications in international journals and presentations at scientific conferences.
He collaborates with students daily between 12:00 and 15:00 pm after prior arrangement (tel: 4622, vpapasot@aua.gr).
His office is in the Papadaki building, 1st floor, Laboratory of Plant Breeding and Biometry.
