Scientific Expertise
Wood Technology
Scientific Background
I have specialized in value-added sustainable composite technology, especially having a good knowledge of the basics of natural fiber reinforced composites/wood-based composites/wood cement boards and their effective use. I am also interested in the effects of Artificial weathering on composite properties. I have been giving undergraduate courses related to wood-based composite materials and nanomaterials in interior architecture.
Motivation
I have experience on COST Actions program (MC member position in FP1404/ 2014-2018). Now I am a WG member in CA19118. When I read the MoU in CA 21103/ in EU COST web page, I believe that I would contribute to the keywords "novel sustainable building materials" "material recovery" addressed in WG(s).
Contribution
I can support as by writing a state of the art of report, analyzing test results or survey responses with SPSS (statistical analysis), and gathering information about industrial needs in my country.
