Teaching Interests

I teach courses in forestry and natural resources, including Forest Management, Silviculture, Forest Carbon, Natural Resources Conservation and Management, Soil Conservation and Wetlands.

Research Interests

My research combines field studies and modeling to evaluate forest productivity, economic potential, and ecosystem services—primarily wood products, water quality, wastewater management and land rehabilitation. I also study forest carbon dynamics and forest adaptability across diverse regions and climatic conditions. My research interests include integrating advanced technologies such as LiDAR and drones to analyze forest growth, composition, and carbon processes.
