Academic and Research Interests
Forest Products Development and Utilization
I am a wood scientist with special focus on Forest Products Development and Utilization Technology. I specialize in wood based panels. However, my field of research is very wide and encompasses the use of indigenous and exotic timbers for the purpose of promoting the more efficient and economic use of such timbers and to improve industrial processes and help promote wood products. Particular topics of research interest include wood composites, preservation, conversion, seasoning, and properties and utilization of forest products.
