I am a senior researcher in wood building technology and a project leader developing wood constructions in various areas, mainly outdoor exposed wood such as facades and facade systems. Now, the focus is on circular flow and how to design to reuse wood. Has studied water absorption in wood with CT scan (computed tomography) and imaging analysis
