Aude Gourieroux

Aude Gourieroux is a research-active academic at Charles Sturt University, affiliated with the School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences. Her work centers on grapevine physiology, with a focus on vascular development, berry ripening, and Botrytis detection in wine grapes.

Education:

• PhD in Grapevine Physiology, Charles Sturt University, awarded 17 Jul 2015
• Master in Grapevine Physiology, ISVV, University of Bordeaux, awarded 12 Jun 2003
• Master in Viticulture, Bordeaux Sciences Agro, awarded 24 Sept 2002

Her research explores the physiological mechanisms underlying grape development, particularly the role of xylem and phloem in berry growth and seededness. She investigates how structural investment in vascular tissues influences fruit quality and yield. Her work integrates plant anatomy, physiology, and applied viticulture.

The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on vascular biology in grapevines, with a longitudinal study on vascular connections to seededness spanning two decades. More recently, her research has expanded into pathogen detection, particularly Botrytis, using antigen-based rapid tests, showing a shift toward post-harvest quality and disease management.

Scientific Awards:

• Excellence Award 2021: Successful Graduates

She has participated in industry-focused activities, including the Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference in 2010, and her work on Botrytis antigen tests has received media attention. While no formal advising or grant information is provided, her collaborative publications suggest active engagement in research teams. She has not supervised any listed students, but her role in multi-author studies indicates integration within larger research networks.
