Overview
Background
Eva (Xiaoyi) completed her PhD in Viticulture and Horticulture from Adelaide University. Before starting her career at UQ, she did an industry-focused and collaborative research project at Adelaide University, working with the University of Melbourne, the University of Tasmania and NSW DPI on drought management in grapevine, orange and almond across the four Australian states.
Eva's research expertise includes plant physiology, particularly in grapevines, with a strong emphasis on advanced techniques such as micro-CT and image analysis for characterizing plant structures. Her work also includes studies on vine balance, canopy microclimate, early yield prediction, and canopy management. She also has significant experience in RNA-seq and data analysis.
Currently, Eva is engaged in projects that assess the performance of wine grape varietals in Queensland's wine regions, as well as exploring the use of hydroponic and aeroponic systems for the production of grapes and other crops.
Honours and Masters projects are available in all active projects. Please register your interest emailing xiaoyi.wang1@uq.edu.au.

Assessing alternative varieties in Granite Belt wine region
This project investigates 40-50 minor varieties of wine grapes in the climate of Granite Belt wine region. Reproductive performance and vegetative growth are being tracked at key developmental stages to compare varieties. This project aims to boost the robustness of Queensland wine industry through a better understanding of how those varietals adapt themselves to the local climate of Granite Belt.
