Information

With a background in measurement and modelling of tree growth, branch growth, and wood quality my current focus is on remote sensing to detect and characterise individual trees. Topics of interest include use of UAVs, laser scanning, and fusion of multi-sensor data, along with associated analytical and modelling approaches, in order to tease apart the genetic, environmental and management drivers of tree growth.
