Jag är forskare inom forskningsområdet Lövträdsodling. Min grupp bedriver forskning och utveckling om uthållig produktion av vedbiomassa framför allt för energiändamål. Vi fokuserar huvudsakligen på arterna inom släktena Salix och Populus. Ett av mina speciella intressen är att forska om möjligheterna att utnyttja snabbväxande lövträd som vegetationsfilter för omhändertagande av samhällets restprodukter.
