Jeg underviser og forsker innen fagfeltene treteknologi og skogindustriell økonomi.
Mine faglige interesser omfatter alle områder som påvirker lønnsomheten i norsk skogindustri. Bedre kunnskap om råvarer, industrielle produksjonsprosesser og markeder for skogprodukter kan bidra til økt verdiskaping og lønnsomhet i den norske skogsektoren. Jeg er spesielt opptatt av å studere treprodukters anvendelse (f.eks. funksjonelle, estetiske og psykologiske egenskaper) i perspektiv av vareegenskaper, industrielle produksjonsprosesser og markedskrav for sluttprodukter.
Jeg underviser i emnene TRE210 (Skogprodukter og materialteknologi), SKOG250 (Skogforvaltning - øvingskurs i tverrfaglig analyse) og TRE210 (Trelastindustri).
I teach and do research on Wood Technology and Forest Business.
My research focuses on aspects that influence the economic performance of the Norwegian forest sector, and which contribute to increased value added and profitability of the forest industry through improved knowledge of production processes and forest product markets. In particular, I am interested in studying the relationship between raw material properties, industrial production processes and market requirements for final products and their attributes (i.e. functional, aesthetical and/or psychological attributes).
I currently teach TRE210 (Skogprodukter og materialteknologi), SKOG250 (Skogforvaltning - øvingskurs i tverrfaglig analyse) and TRE210 (Trelastindustri).
