Industrial Research
PhD by research funded by Cooperative Research Centre for Wood Innovations and IRIS; My PhD research topic "Development of New Microwave Equipment and its Suitability for Wood Modification", assisted CRC for Wood Innovations to develop innovative microwave technologies for the timber and wood products industries. The innovative character of this project in conjunction with my previous assignments in wood technology has strengthened my commitment to research on the sustainable value-added wood production.
