Mr. Mohamed Dhia Eddine Hammami | Agricultural and Biological Sciences | Best Researcher Award

Mohamed Dhia Eddine Hammami | University of Vigo | Spain

Mr. Mohamed Dhia Eddine Hammami is a distinguished doctoral researcher in Agricultural Sciences affiliated with the University of Vigo, Spain, and the University of Carthage, Tunisia, specializing in maize genetics, drought and heat stress tolerance, and agronomic productivity in Mediterranean environments. He holds an Engineering Degree in Agronomy from the Higher School of Agriculture of Mateur, Tunisia, and completed a preparatory cycle in Biology and Geology at the Higher Institute of Biology and Geology of Soukra, Tunisia. As a researcher, he has led extensive screening of Mediterranean maize landraces across multiple environments, evaluating physiological responses, genetic diversity, and genotype-by-environment interactions, and identifying key agronomic drivers of yield. His work encompasses high-impact research projects such as the PRIMA DROMAMED initiative, and he has collaborated with leading institutions including Mission Biológica de Galicia (MBG-CSIC), INRAE in France, and the National Agronomic Institute of Tunisia. Mr. Hammami has contributed to a significant body of scholarly publications in top-tier journals, including Agronomy, PLoS ONE, and the Italian Journal of Agronomy, advancing understanding of stress adaptation, genetic variability, and yield optimization in maize. He has presented his findings at international conferences, earning recognition such as the Best Presentation Prize at the Young Researchers Workshop in Vigo. Beyond research, he has co-supervised student projects, demonstrating leadership in mentoring emerging scientists. His expertise, innovative contributions, and scholarly achievements position him as an exceptional candidate for recognition in the field of agricultural sciences.
