I am a crop ecophysiologist and educator based at the Waite Campus of Adelaide University. I received my doctorate in 2014 from Cornell University where I worked on developing sensors for measuring plant and soil water status.My current research is in the area of plant ecophysiology with a particular focus on climatic influences on crop performance and productivity. My research places considerable emphasis on modeling the interactions between the environment, especially water availability, and crops to predict their growth and yield under changing climatic conditions. My research also seeks to understand how biotic (e.g. virus infections) and abiotic (e.g. drought, heat) stresses affect grapevine physiological performance and productivity. I am also working in the areas of proximal and remote sensing, and to use this high spatial and temporal resolution information to improve our ability to manage crops using variable rate inputs.
Horticulture/Viticulture Ecophysiology:
- Inter- and intra-vine abiotic stress signalling in grapevine
- Studying grapevine hydraulics under drought
- Investigating the physiological limitations to enhanced WUE in horticultural crops
- Developing climate stress mitigation techniques for vineyards
- Monitoring and building soil organic carbon, including through the use of biochar
Advanced Sensing Technologies in Vineyards:
- Detection of biotic and abiotic stresses in grapevines using proximal and remote sensing techniques
- Continuous in situ measurements of crop water status
- Estimating crop water use using remote sensing and machine learning modeling
