Research Interests

My research centres on studies of the health of plantation trees. Major research areas include:
Plant-fungal interactions in the stem decay of Eucalyptus nitens
Stem decay and root rot of tropical Acacia mangium
Plant secondary metabolites (tannins and flavonoids) in relation to antifungal activites
Characterising stress responses in leaves of plantation trees - relating chemistry to reflectance for remote sensing applications
