I am doing my PhD in forest silviculture at the southern Swedish forest research center, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden. My research focuses to understand the intra and interspecific competition between trees and to describe the young forest structure and composition of the Swedish forest.

Research
-Current project (2020-2021): Investigate the effect of different precommercial thinning (PCT) strategies on the trade-off between production and fodder availability of a mixed forest in southern Sweden.
Preliminary finding: PCT can be used as a tool to provide fodder for the animal without losing production
Previous projects:
01. Time period (2018-2019): Investigate the effect of different spatial design on the growth and quality of coniferous plantation in Sweden
Key finding: Spatial design has no effect on the growth and quality of coniferous plantation in Sweden with the same area and same stand density.
02. Time period (2019-2020): Investigate the species composition and stand structure of young forests in Sweden.
Key finding: Regeneration failure changed the species composition of young forests in Sweden.
