RICARDO JORGE LOPES EGIPTO

Ricardo Jorge Lopes Egipto is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering at Instituto Superior de Agronomia, focusing on grapevine physiology, irrigation optimization, and climate change adaptation in Mediterranean viticulture systems. His work combines biophysical modeling, transcriptomic analysis, and sensory profiling of wine grape varieties.

Research interests include:

• Deficit irrigation strategies
• Climate-resilient viticulture
• Wine aroma characterization
• Plant-water relations
• Energy flux dynamics in vineyards

Recent publications demonstrate his expertise in:

• Machine learning for wine authenticity verification
• Soil moisture-plant transpiration linkages
• Transcriptomic responses to drought stress
• Abiotic stress-adapted grape varieties
• Biophysical modeling in extreme climates
