معرفی
Maria Psychogiou is an Associate Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens, affiliated with the School of Environment and Agricultural Engineering and the Department of Soil Science & Agricultural Chemistry. She teaches postgraduate and undergraduate courses on topics including Environmental Soil Physics, Water Quality, Hydrogeology, Waste Reuse in Agriculture, Irrigation Systems, and Environmental Hydraulics.
- Environmental Soil Physics and Water Quality (Postgraduate, 1st Semester)
- Special Water Quality Issues (Postgraduate, 1st Semester)
- Waste Reuse in Agriculture (Postgraduate, 2nd Semester)
- Hydrogeology - Water Quality (Postgraduate, 2nd Semester)
- Water Quality - Environmental Hydraulics (Undergraduate, 8th Semester)
- Irrigation and Irrigation Systems (Undergraduate, 8th Semester)
- Water Quality Control and Environmental Protection (Undergraduate, 9th Semester)
- Environmental Soil Physics (Undergraduate, 7th Semester)
- Groundwater Hydraulics (Undergraduate, 7th Semester)
- Irrigation of Main Crops and Greenery (Undergraduate, 7th/9th Semester)
Her research focuses on soil-water interactions, nutrient recovery from waste streams, adsorption mechanisms using modified minerals, and stress physiology in crops under salinity and boron excess. She employs geochemical analysis, hydrological modeling, and experimental studies on plant metabolism.
Maria Psychogiou's recent publications emphasize nutrient adsorption techniques (phosphorus, potassium) using modified zeolites and soils, groundwater quality assessment in Mediterranean regions, and plant responses to environmental stressors like salinity and boron toxicity. Her work bridges soil physics, water management, and sustainable agricultural practices.
She has contributed to understanding substrate hydrology in horticultural systems, solute transport dynamics, and the role of soil amendments in improving nutrient bioavailability. Her studies often address practical challenges in irrigation management and desertification prevention.
