Personal profile
Research interests
I am an arboriculturist and woody plant specialist specialing in plant structure-function relations and tree responses to decay fungi, notably in wood and bark. Among my aims is to develop a new tree defence model with a strong focus on the role of green bark in CO2 recycling, water transport and response to damage, air ingress, and fungi. I am currently completing a project investigating the co-evolution of wood parenchyma and vessel diameter in relation to water transport in angiosperm trees across biomes.
Teaching
I am teaching within the faculty for forestry and arboriculture and, with our strong team, helping to develop curricula that can adapt to our changing times in the forestry and arboriculture industries.
