Message
I like to visit forestry and mountain village sites with students, collect data, and conduct research to solve social problems there. My specialty in field research is mountain road driving. The research topic I would like to work on in the future is the sustainability of sloping land forestry using agricultural tractors in Central Europe and Europe. I love my corgi dog and I am considering to research the role of dogs in forest management.
