Dr. Marina Lopez-Pozo | Climate change mitigation | Research Excellence Award

Postdoctoral Researcher | University of Colorado Boulder | United States

Dr. Marina López-Pozo is a plant ecophysiologist specializing in photosynthesis, plant stress biology, and functional plant responses to extreme environments. Her research focuses on photoprotection mechanisms, desiccation and freezing tolerance, carotenoid dynamics, and the ecological and evolutionary performance of terrestrial and aquatic plants, with emerging emphasis on Lemnaceae as sustainable crops for CO₂ sequestration and nutritional innovation. She holds a research appointment at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she contributes to interdisciplinary plant biology and climate-related research initiatives. Dr. López-Pozo has played a key role in advancing understanding of xanthophyll cycles, stress resilience in Antarctic and resurrection plants, and the optimization of duckweed systems for food and bioresource applications. Her work has generated high-impact publications influencing plant physiology, environmental adaptation research, and sustainable agriculture strategies. Her impact vision centers on translating plant stress-tolerance mechanisms into scalable solutions for climate resilience, food security, and environmentally responsible bio-innovation.

Koray Kacan | Sustainable Water Cycles | Best Researcher Award

Published on by Agri Scientist

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Koray Kacan | Sustainable Water Cycles | Best Researcher Award

Lecturer and Researcher | Muğla Sitkı Koçman University | Turkey 

Dr. Koray Kacan is a researcher specializing in Weed Science and Sustainable Crop Protection, with expertise in invasive plants, parasitic weeds, herbicide resistance, and weed control in organic production systems. His research focuses on understanding weed ecology, resistance mechanisms to herbicides, and developing environmentally sound and non-chemical weed management strategies, including innovative technologies such as microwave-based control methods. Dr. Kaçan has served in key academic and research roles, contributing extensively to applied agricultural research through long-term field studies and collaborative projects. His major contributions include the identification of herbicide-resistant weed populations, first reports of invasive parasitic weeds in new cropping systems, and the advancement of alternative weed management approaches for organic and conventional agriculture. His impact vision centers on supporting sustainable agriculture by reducing chemical dependency, improving crop productivity, and informing science-based weed management practices that benefit farmers, ecosystems, and global food security.
