Expertise
Greg is an active and successful collaborative researcher, working closely with research groups across disciplines and with major organisations in the timber production, building and building design sectors nationally and internationally. His primary expertise is in the production of timber and wood products and their use in building design. This encompasses technical and design skill in wood products in sustainable development; hardwood processing, particularly the recovery of solid wood products from plantation hardwoods; and timber in building design, particularly in non-residential construction.
Being a practising architect and experienced researcher, working in timber manufacture, Greg probably has a unique view of the value chain, interests and concerns that extends from the forest to the built environment and from the forester to the building design professional.
Research Themes
Greg's research aligns with two of the University's research themes: Environment, Resources and Sustainability, and Creativity, Culture and Society. His research interests in the theme of Environment, Resources and Sustainability align to the recovery of wood products from the available resource, particularly Australia's plantation hardwoods. Greg's work in material recovery has focused on both advance value recovery from the standing resource, through improved systems and processes, and multi-disciplinary aspects of forestry for economic product recovery. His research interests in the theme of Creativity, Culture and Society align to improving both the use of wood and timber products in sustainable building. This includes work on the thermal performance of timber building and the increased development and adoption of advance timber prefabrication systems.

Characterising utility performance and in-grade properties of solid structural timber recovered from radiata pine T2 logs, third logs from clear fell, and core wood from current sawlogs (2023 - 2024)$228,500
- Description
- Pine third logs from clear fell, thinning logs, and the corewood of larger logs comprise mainly juvenile fibre and are therefore not typically processed for structural timber framing products. The limiting factor is often board instability in production and in-service compared with market expectations. However, alternative log and fibre sources become important in a market when availability of traditional sawlogs limits production volumes. Using Western Australian pine product, this scalable project will provide a capture critical performance data as a foundation for further research and development using this alternative fibre supply to meet market demand for timber construction and EWP feedstock.

Sense-T Stage 2: Forest and Wood Products (2015 - 2016)$408,079
- Description
- The proposed project aligns with initiatives led by the National Centre for Future Forestry Industries (NCFFI -‐UTas) in the optimisation of extended forestry value chains. Specifically this project aims to improve the recovery, quality and value of sawn hardwoods by deploying advanced information sensing and modeling technology to air-‐dry sawn boards to Fibre Saturation Point (FSP). This is the critical stage in successful hardwood drying, and a vital segment of the broader forestry value chain. This is a three-‐stage project support by four activity streams. The three stages are 1). Intensive research into sensing, 2). Pilot industry scale sensing and operational trials, and 3). Industry operational trials. The four activity streams are a). Sensor system development that will determine the number and efficacy of sensors operating at a yard, stack and board scales, b).Drying condition model development that will align the information collected with the observed drying behaviour and the potential for whole-‐of-‐site timber management, c). Industry process integration that will ensure technical outcomes can be implemented given industry's current operational capacity, and d). Project 4 management.
