Important future issues for the faculty and how I can contribute

I think the faculties most important goal is to help researchers and teachers provide cutting edge scientific and educational foundations for a sustainable future. To achieve this, I see a strong need to promote inter-disciplinary research & teaching across departmental and geographical boundaries. I hope to help the faculty achieve these goals, as well as those for SLU’s internal sustainability.

Personal reflections

As a conservation ecologist my research involves finding forest management pathways that conserve or restore biodiversity in forests managed to sustain multiple ecosystem services in a world of global change. Given that forests are complex social-ecological systems, I enjoy collaborating with colleagues across SLU. I hope my research and life experiences are highly relevant to serving the aims of the faculty.
