Education:

PhD. Dual Title in Forest Resources and Operations Research. The Pennsylvania State University, U.S.A. (2005)
M.S. Agriculture. Shinshu University, Nagano, Japan (2002)
M.Sc. Forest Engineering. University of Forestry and Wood Sciences Sopron, Hungary (1994)

Research Interests:

My primary field of interest is developing quantitative decision support tools to aid forest and natural resource management. I am particularly interested in building and testing mathematical models that can quantify and visualize the resource trade-offs and production possibilities between conflicting management objectives. I do research in the following thematic areas:

Forest management planning: spatially explicit harvest scheduling models, multiple-criteria forest planning.
Operations research: integer programming, multiple-criteria optimization, multiple-criteria decision support systems.
The economics of non-timber forest benefits.

Research Projects:

Realizing non-timber forest benefits in Oklahoma and New Zealand.
Developing a decision system to aid multipurpose forest management in Chile (National Science Foundation - OISE-0601838). Project Summary
