Forester, professor, entreprenur
I am Professor at Department of Forest Engineering, the Transylvania University of Brasov. My subjects are Remote Sensing and GIS (for master’s degree) and Watershed Management and Hydrotechnical Terrestrial Measurements (for bachelor’s degree). As a researcher I am involved in projects regarding forest management and monitoring, mainly as RS-GIS expert on topics like LULUCF (land use, land-use change, and forestry) using remote sensing and drone mapping, modeling habitat distributions for species and evaluating Forest Ecosystem Services (FES).
Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of developing a diverse expertise that revolves around forestry, environmental management, geospatial analysis, and sustainable resource utilization. While I still have much to learn, I've been fortunate to be a part of various projects, research endeavors, and academic contributions that have allowed me to contribute to the understanding and conservation of our natural world. Here are the key areas where I've had the chance to grow:
1. Forest Management and Conservation:
I've had the opportunity to lead and collaborate on projects focused on forest management and conservation, where my aim has always been to contribute positively to our forests' health and vitality. From working on projects involving protected sites and ecological corridors to assessing the economic value of forest ecosystem services, I've strived to ensure that our forests are utilized sustainably and protected for future generations.
2. Geospatial Analysis and GIS:
Through my work as a GIS expert, I've been able to explore the intricate landscapes and habitats that make up our environment. My focus has been on utilizing geospatial technology to glean insights from spatial data, whether it's tracking forest dynamics, assessing hydro-meteorological risks, or mapping land cover changes. Each project has provided a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the realm of geospatial analysis.
3. Environmental Policy and Planning:
One area that deeply resonates with me is environmental policy and planning. I've been fortunate to contribute to projects that tackle complex challenges, such as developing holistic forest-based policies for climate change mitigation and assessing the impact of control structures on our environment. These experiences have allowed me to engage with the intricate balance between human needs and environmental preservation.
4. Sustainable Resource Utilization:
Sustainability has always been at the forefront of my endeavors. My work has spanned initiatives related to biomass utilization and assessing the economic value of natural resources. By examining the potential of sustainable tourism and evaluating the benefits of natural capital, I've aimed to promote responsible resource utilization that respects our planet's limits.
5. International Collaboration and Research:
My involvement in a diverse array of projects, both at the national and international levels, underscores my ability to collaborate across borders and disciplines. Through my research publications, which cover topics ranging from forest height measurement to flood risk assessment, I have demonstrated my capacity to contribute valuable insights to a wide range of scientific communities.
