About
My research focuses on applied forest management, with particular emphasis on sustainable pesticide use, plantation pest control, and the optimisation of forest biomass residues for circular bioeconomy outcomes. I lead large-scale collaborative trials across Australian forestry regions in partnership with industry and government, including national consortia on pest management and herbicide innovation. My work supports both regulatory outcomes and operational improvements in forest health and resource use.
