Christos Chondrogiannais

Christos Chondrogiannais is a Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), working on the ERC-funded TERRAFORM project. He concurrently serves as a part-time Lecturer at the University of Patras, delivering undergraduate modules in Plant Ecophysiology and Applied Physiology/Plant Nutrition. His academic journey includes a PhD in Plant Physiology (2019) from the University of Patras, complemented by a Master’s in Ecology and a Bachelor’s in Biology, both from the same institution.

His research focuses on plant responses to environmental stresses—particularly biotic (fungi, viruses) and abiotic (water deficit, extreme temperatures)—and their impacts on photosynthesis and water relations. He has explored ontogenetic changes in leaf/plant maturation and Mediterranean plant adaptations. Chondrogiannais has also contributed as a teaching assistant in Plant Physiology modules at the University of Patras.
