Prof. Dr. Ahsen Işık Özgüven | Sustainable Agriculture | Women Researcher Award
Norther Cyprus | Cyprus International University | Cyprus
Ahsen Işık Özgüven is a distinguished researcher specializing in horticulture and plant physiology, with a strong emphasis on fruit science and sustainable crop production systems. Her research focus centers on fruit crop physiology, irrigation strategies, plant growth regulators, and varietal adaptation, with emerging interests in improving yield stability, fruit quality, and stress resilience under diverse agro-ecological conditions. She has held key academic and research roles at Cyprus International University and has collaborated extensively with national and international agricultural research programs. Her major contributions include pioneering studies on deficit irrigation, fruit cracking physiology, and hormonal regulation in crops such as pomegranate, strawberry, pistachio, tomato, and hazelnut, significantly influencing horticultural management practices. Through high-impact publications and applied research, her work bridges fundamental plant physiology with practical solutions for growers, contributing to sustainable agriculture, efficient water use, and enhanced food security at regional and global scales.
