Andreas Ropokis, M.Sc. (male), teaching assistant staff of the Laboratory of Vegetable Production of AUA. He has a long and extensive experience and detailed knowledge on vegetable grafting and laboratory techniques associated with the evaluation of the quality of vegetables and quantitative determination of inorganic nutrients in plant tissue. He has published 4 papers in refereed international scientific journals and many other papers in congress proceedings (Acta Hort.) and book of abstracts. In the last 7 years, in addition to several national research projects Mr. Ropokis has been involved as researcher in European research projects (LEGUME FUTURES, EUROLEGUME, TRUE, TOMRES) as well as in two LEONARDO Projects related to plant irrigation and hydroponics (AGRICOM, GreenNet).
