DrNikolaos Mastrodimos

I am a Plant Pathologist, currently working as a Lecturer/ Assistant Professor in Horticulture at University College Dublin (UCD) and the Guangzhou-Dublin International College of Life Sciences and Technology (GDIC). 

I attained an integrated B.Sc.–M.Sc. (2011 – 2016) and a M.Sc. (2017–2019) degree in Crop Science and Plant Protection at the Agricultural University of Athens, Greece. I completed my PhD in Molecular Plant Pathology at UCD (2019 – 2024), where I also worked as a postdoctoral research assistant. I was also a postdoctoral scholar at University of California, Davis (UC Davis) in the United States (2024 – 2025).

To date, I have contributed, as a co-applicant, to a research grant (IKOPROTECTA – €545.256,00; 2019), and received a travel award from the British Society for Plant Pathology (£614; 2024). In addition, I have also presented my research work at multiple international conferences, such as the 31st Fungal Genetics Conference (US, 2022), the International Symposium on Cereal Leaf Blights (Tunisia, 2022), and the XX International Plant Protection Congress (Greece, 2024).
