Research

My overarching research interest centers on forest management planning and the bioeconomy, and Operations Research applications in forestry. With a main focus on developing new modeling tools to address important and challenging forest management problems such as uncertainty, climate change, and spatially-explicit forest management planning problems. I am also interested in multi-objective forest management problems, interdisciplinary research integrating new information on ecosystem services for real-world forest planning applications. Lastly, forest economics applications and timber supply analysis are key areas of my research portfolio.
