Vasilis Kokkoris is an Assistant Professor in Systems Ecology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on the evolutionary significance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) nuclear dynamics and their role in interconnected fungal networks. These networks are critical for understanding plant productivity, survival, and community composition. Kokkoris employs high-resolution molecular methods and advanced microscopy techniques to investigate the interactions and traits of AMF at nuclear and network scales. His work also extends to agricultural and ecosystem scales, assessing how AMF dynamics influence plant responses and ecosystem functioning under varying environmental gradients. In addition to his core research, he is interested in the implications of climate change on mycorrhizal symbiosis and its applicability in sustainable agriculture.
Administered under the Department of Clinical Psychology for Master's in Clinical and Developmental Psychopathology.
