Nasko Terziev

Professor at the Dept. of Forest Bioeconomy and Technology, SLU with 40 years R&D and teaching experience in wood science, technology and engineering.  Responsible for the Wood Protection and Testing Laboratory, accredited according to standard ISO 17025. Long experience in collaborative projects at the Wood Ultrastructure Research Centre (WURC) and Wood Material Sci. & Eng. Research Programme (WoodWisdom); I have participated as a partner and coordinator in 9 EU-financed projects in the recent 20 years. Current research interests: Functionalisation of solid wood and fibres, wood durability and protection, novel wood treatment by heat and high frequency waves, wood modification, alterations in wood properties and anatomy.

My research in the recent years has been aimed at demonstrating of fully bio-based building materials with thermal energy storage function that can replace high environmental footprint products. The research focuses on functional incorporation of bio-based phase change materials (bioPCMs) into solid wood and fibres that are bound by plant oil resins, lignin, or fungal mycelium to produce novel bio-composite building materials with significantly improved thermal properties. The novel materials possess multifunctional performance, meet requirements for sustainable “green” production, and ensure end-of-life options and recycling.

Approximately 60 teaching hours annually in a variety of MSc, PhD and industrial courses at SLU and Uppsala University. 

120 peer-reviewed articles and 120 conference and popular contributions, book chapters.
