- Link an economic model of the forest sector with a bio-physical forest dynamics model in order to develop future projections of forest biomass supply and demand and to analyse the impact on the forest sink.- Analyse forest products trade, as well as agricultural trade of products potentially linked with deforestation.

Macroeconomic analysis of forest products demand in European Countries.

I analyse the determinants of demand for forest products in Europe. I use time series and panel data econometrics focused on intermediary forest products: sawnwood, paper products and wood panels, Results distinguish common variations across European countries, from variations that are specific to each country.

I was responsible for administration, IT support, project budgets and communication. I took part in the annual reporting to donors on activities. I have co-organised two training-courses for PhD students on “International forestry and global issues” (in 2010 and 2012) and a workshop on “Improving forest products price information” in Brussels, Belgium (in 2011). I developed a web portal linking to sources of forest products price information (http://fppi.efi.int) and a portal on… Show more I was responsible for administration, IT support, project budgets and communication.

Risk prevention surveys in medium sized industries (such as recycling plants, foundries, industrial bakeries) I was visiting production facilities to analyse industrial risks. I wrote recommendations for risk prevention with the goal to influence factory owners to protect their company's assets and their supply chain. I have gathered experience from numerous industrial facilities and I have strengthened my skills as a facilitator for exchange across technical and cultural barriers.

Machine vision: I was responsible for the installation of a timber grading machine. I liaised with the suppliers from Luxembourg, I synthesized quality criteria from the production team and sales department into sorting criteria for an automated timber grading machine.Translator: I was the production contact for French-speaking suppliers and customers, I dealt with logistics, reclamations, translated technical documents and was interpreter for machine fitters.

Production flow analysis: I modelled information and material flows in the production facility. In a context of increasing timber prices and of timber quality degradation, the whole production plant: from raw material sourcing, production and surface coating to sales and delivery was in need of better information from an ageing Enterprise Resource Planing software (ERP). I implemented data entry terminals on the production lines and trained operators to improve the availability of production data. Show less
