Dimitra Despoina Tosiliani is a researcher and PhD student at the Laboratory of Agricultural Economics and Consumer Behaviour, working on agricultural systems modelling, sustainability assessment and climate change adaptation in Mediterranean farming systems.

Her doctoral research examines how economy-wide and spatially explicit frameworks, in particular spatial equilibrium models and Computable General Equilibrium, can integrate the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus into the analysis of agricultural policy and resource-use scenarios.

She contributes to three European research projects, DIONYSUS (PRIMA), NATAE and RestPoll (Horizon Europe), combining quantitative modelling in GAMS with participatory, multi-actor methods such as stakeholder co-design workshops.

In 2026 she completed a research visit at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Germany, developing an intra-regional spatial equilibrium model for crop allocation under nitrogen, water availability and drought constraints.

She holds an Integrated Master’s Degree from the Department of Agriculture Crop Production and Rural Environment of the University of Thessaly, graduating at the top of her class with 8.59/10 and a thesis graded 10/10 on the effect of biostimulants on lavender cultivation.
