About
Dr. Fiona Corke is a leading researcher in plant phenomics and environmental stress physiology, with a particular focus on grapevine responses to drought. Her work bridges computer vision and plant biology, developing non-invasive, image-based methods to assess water status in crops. Her most-cited paper, "Image-Based Assessment of Drought Response in Grapevines" (2020, 56 citations), demonstrates how leaf profile changes can be captured through high-throughput imaging to provide reliable, real-time indicators of plant water stress. This work has significant implications for precision agriculture, enabling early detection of drought stress without destructive sampling. Dr. Corke’s contributions are foundational to the emerging field of digital phenotyping, where scalable, repeated imaging replaces traditional manual measurements. Her research is widely cited by agronomists, plant physiologists, and computational biologists seeking to automate stress detection in vineyards and other crops. By integrating computer vision with ecophysiological principles, she has advanced both fundamental understanding of plant-environment interactions and practical tools for sustainable water management. Her work continues to influence high-throughput phenotyping platforms and smart irrigation systems.
