Profile

The thematic focus of the Chair is on the following areas:

• Wood anatomical research in the macroscopic and microscopic field,
• X-ray diffraction studies on wood samples and monocot tissues (bamboo, palm) with a focus on cell wall structure analysis and microfibril angles,

• Utilization of the anisotropic properties of the renewable raw material wood for the development of curved and curved wooden elements through self-forming (e.g. curved walls, pipes, design elements, self-forming furniture),

• Development of materials from renewable raw materials and recycled products up to production maturity using 3D printing https://scitube.io/dr-michael-rosenthal-revolutionizing-3d-printing-of-wood-with-liquid-deposition-modelling/
• Interrelationships between silviculture and wood quality,
• Alternative methods for calamity storage of round timber (member of the international association of experts in the field of round timber storage after storm events "STODAFOR"),
• Research and development in the field of tree ring chronology and radiodensitometry
