My current research interests are in the general area of wood quality. In particular I am interested in approaches and techniques used to determine wood quality, and determining the effects of silvicultural treatments on the resulting wood quality. I also have an interest in the application of image analysis techniques to wood anatomy and wood composites. I have an ongoing interest in projects involving wood identification. I am also committed to the development of teaching techniques in wood science and technology and seek to improve both my abilities and the quality of our undergraduate program in these areas.
