He is a researcher and educator in low-carbon design solutions for the built environment. His research merges the field of structural design, forestry, and materials. He currently studies the use of undervalued timber resources such as small-diameter timbers and underutilized Californian hardwoods species for high-performance architectural and engineering applications.
We talk about the merits of low-tech Mass Timber products for construction and how they can add value to the Californian wood industry. We also talk about his research into shape-optimization in order to increase resource efficiency of timber beams.
