The main expertise is: i) Forest management practices that support mitigation and adaptation to wind inflicted damages; ii) sustainability impacts assessment of wood-based vs concrete-based building materials throughout production value chains, iii) Forest health assessment and the major drivers that affect forest resistance.

I see an opportunity to join the consortium linked to forest management, increased resilience, adaptation, and mitigation to environmental challenges. This may include: i) Forest management practices that support mitigation and adaptation to wind-inflicted damages; ii) sustainability impacts assessment of wood-based vs concrete-based building materials throughout production value chains, iii) Forest health assessment and the major drivers that affect forest resistance; and beyond this.
