Profile:
Academic Background:
PhD in Physiology and Breeding of Ornamental Plants (2018)
Professional Experience:
Since 2014, Dr. Mohammadi has been a lecturer and researcher at Ilam University. He became an assistant professor in 2019 and has led multiple projects on crop physiology, stress, and post-harvest management.
Research Focus in Horticulture Sciences:
- Salt Stress: Investigating the effects of salt stress on crop physiology and finding ways to mitigate its impact on plant growth and productivity.
- Chilling Injury: Studying the physiological responses of crops to chilling temperatures and developing strategies to protect plants from cold damage.
- Post-Harvest Physiology: Examining the physiological processes of crops after harvest to improve storage, quality, and shelf-life of horticultural products.
