Personal Statement
Wood is the world's most promising natural composite material. Undoubtedly, if we studied wood and clearly understood its formation & growth; its use and engineering potentials (like we understand the human body), we would be living in a more sustainable and advanced world especially in the areas of energy, biomaterials and health among others. I seek and envision equal and borderless research and educational opportunities for ALL, to making our globe a better place!
