Hongrui earned his PhD studying dormant-season viticultural resilience through transcriptomics of cold acclimation, phenomics of deacclimation, and AI-empowered modeling of grapevine cold hardiness. He is now continuing that work, modeling grapevine growth and response to increasing temperatures as a postdoctoral researcher in Bordeaux with INRAE.
