Modeling landscape-scale forest carbon using LANDIS-II to evaluate management strategies and climate impacts, conducting simulations, harvest prescription setup, analysis, and reporting.

Assessed spatial variability of aboveground forest carbon in Miombo woodlands using Sentinel-1/2 and field inventory data, performing statistical and remote sensing analyses to produce actionable reports.

Estimated soil and aboveground carbon stocks for Black Locust sites on the Loess Plateau, developing methodology, cleansing data, and delivering analytical reports.

Conducted collaborative research on mitigating crop-raiding around Budongo Forest Reserve, designing surveys, conducting field interviews, analyzing data, and presenting findings.

Measured biophysical variables and established allometric equations for crown width, growth, and yield across sample plots to support forest growth modelling.

Supported Nigeria's REDD+ National Forest Inventory by creating ecological zone and forest reserve maps to inform forest resource assessment and planning.

Implemented a sustainable beekeeping project using locally sourced materials to promote conservation of indigenous timber species and community livelihoods.

Organized training schedules and supervised forest visits for interns, maintaining detailed incident and activity reports to support field training programs.

Activities and societies: Model simulation with LANDIS-II, harvest prescription development, data analysis, report and manuscript writing; conference presentations on related research.

Doctoral research on landscape-scale forest carbon modelling assessing management strategies, beech bark disease effects, and climate change using LANDIS-II with simulation, prescription setup, and data analysis.
