Professor Paul Petrie is the Principal Scientist – Viticulture and Program Leader of the Irrigated Crops group at the South Australian Research and Development Institute. He also holds the roles of Affiliate Professor at the University of Adelaide, Associate Professor at Flinders University and Adjunct Associate Professor at the UNSW. Paul has extensive experience in the Australian wine industry which includes working in research and extension at the Australian Wine Research Institute and as the National Viticulturist at Treasury Wine Estates. Paul grew up helping his parents establish a vineyard in New Zealand and before moving to Australia for a role at CSIRO he completed a PhD on canopy management at Lincoln University.

Paul leads a viticultural research program aiming to improve the resilience of Australian vineyards; improving their productivity and ability to adapt to climate change. This work includes projects developing strategies to better manage dry winters and to understand and manage vintage compression. He also has an active interest in the application of technology to the wine industry and has previously developed a system to assess grapevine water status using a thermal camera mounted on a smartphone and is currently working on a project to to assess and map grapevine trunk diseases using an action camera. Paul supports a wide range of horticultural projects; including the development of high density almond and apricot orchards and the assessment of the recovery of apples and cherries after bushfire damage.
