My research is unusually broad and involves wood anatomy, protection and bio-based composites. I am particularly interested in the surface properties of wood and their effect on the appearance, resistance to weathering and finishing properties of wood.


Projects

Weathering and surface protection of wood

Wood protection

Development of novel bio-based composites

Wood anatomy (ecological wood anatomy)
