Yu finished her bachelor's and master's degrees in viticulture and enology, loyally employed in the wine industry since 2016 and in 2022 she formally becomes a PhD candidate in the Department of Wine Science, Engineering and Technology, co-supervised by A/Pro David Jeffery (david.jeffery@adelaide.edu.au) and Dr Marlize Bekker (marlize.bekker@awri.com.au).

In collaboration with the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), her PhD project is about the investigation of polysulfides as latent volatile sulfur compounds. The project seeks to extend previous work, evaluate polysulfides thoroughly and address the knowledge gap surrounding the key precursors responsible for post‐fermentation VSC development in wine and distilled beverages.
