Biography
Dr. Krista Sumby is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Wine and Food Science, at the University of Adelaide. Dr. Sumby is part of the Wine Microbiology and Biotechnology group where she undertakes research into lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Her current research is largely linked to three questions: How do bacteria interact with their environment and yeast in high stress environments such as seen in winemaking? How can this knowledge be exploited to produce superior strains and wine process outcomes? What does this knowledge tell us about the evolution and ecology of these microbes in their ‘natural’ environment. Dr. Sumby has been awarded various awards, including The Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence (2013), The Harold Woolhouse Prize for The Best PhD Thesis in The Faculty of Sciences (2013) and the Postgraduate Alumni University Medal (2014).
