My expertise lies in the development of sustainable vegetable production technologies in greenhouse systems, with a particular focus on efficient resource use. My research encompasses soilless culture systems, irrigation and fertilization management, plant responses to abiotic stresses, grafting, and organic greenhouse vegetable production. I have supervised Master’s and PhD students and have participated in and contributed to numerous international and national research projects, including ECOPONICS, FLOW-AID, and VEG-ADAPT. From 2018 to 2022, I served as President of the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS). In this capacity, I contributed to advancing international collaboration and scientific exchange in horticultural science. I have convened six ISHS symposia as well as the International Horticultural Congress (IHC2018). I have authored more than 300 scientific publications, including articles in SCI-indexed journals, papers in national refereed journals, contributions to international and national symposia, books, and book chapters.
