Bio
After completing my PhD in 2000 at the University of Lincoln (Canterbury, New Zealand), I worked as a viticulture and oenology researcher for Plant and Food Research. In parallel, I taught viticulture and statistics as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lincoln and at the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) in Blenheim, New Zealand. My main areas of research are viticulture, vine water status, sustainable management, carbohydrate partitioning and the impact of all these themes on wine quality. Since September 2018, I have been on "détachement" to Bordeaux Sciences Agro as a lecturer. I am in charge of coordinating the Bachelor’s degree in Viticulture and Enology at BSA, and I lecture in this course as well as in the Master of Science in Vineyard & Winery Management. My current research focuses on vineyard management and its influence on wine quality.
