I am a postdoctoral researcher interested in optimal forest management, balancing between economic and ecologic objectives. I am especially interested in disturbances, such as windthrows and bark beetles, and how we can adresse them to promote forest resilience, and maintain forest ecosystem services for future generations. I am enthusiast in maps, remote sensing, GIS, R, python, and forest growth simulators.
In my previous research, I was interested in landscape level spread of European Spruce Bark beetle infestation. I have used applied remote sensing to automatically identify large-scale disturbances as windthrows, beetle infestations, and clear-cuts in the High Tatra Mts. I have recently joined BERG group at the University of Jyväskyla. I am interested in optimisation of forest management to promote biodiversity and support provisioning of ecosystem services.
