Research
Interests
My major interests
are in the area of forest pathology and wood microbiology
with research in tree defense mechanisms, deterioration
processes of wood, biotechnological uses of forest fungi,
biological control of forest pathogens, and the conservation
of archaeological wood and wood of historic value. Projects
involve novel, interdisciplinary approaches to solving tree
disease problems and understanding the biology and ecology
of forest microbes.
