His research interests focus on the study of nutrients, physiology, and fruit ripening of fruit trees using high-throughput molecular techniques (-omics) such as metabolomics, proteomics, and comparative genomic analysis. During his doctoral studies, he received a scholarship from the Hellenic Research and Innovation Foundation (H.F.R.I.). From his research activity until now, thirty-two (32) scientific papers have been published in peer-reviewed international journals and one (1) chapter in an international book (book chapter).
