My research interests include tree breeding and quantitative genetics, maximisation of sustainable site productivity and general "quantitative forestry". In summary, I use mathematics and statistics to improve forest management. Specific interests are:

* genetics of wood properties
* large-scale genetic evaluation (multivariate animal-model BLUP)
* geographic patterns of genetic variability for forest trees
* development of economic breeding objectives
* simulation and optimisation of breeding strategies
* breeding/population genetics of non-tree species
