PhD Forestry, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
DUTIES:
Researcher and teacher at the southern Swedish Forest Research Centre.
RESEARCH:
Research: Silviculture, mainly in two fields:
1. Silviculture (regeneration and stand treatment) of hardwoods sucah
as beech and oak. At the experimental forest in Skarhult, 10 km east
Eslöv, we have regeneration experiments with beech and oak. Also a
large study of regeneration of beech at Ryssberget (close to
Sölvesborg). We also have a thinning experiment with oak in Skarhult.
2. Silviculture and wood properties (Scots Pine and Norway Spruce in
southern Sweden). The wood properties and the quality of timber differ
depending on, among other things, silviculture operations. We work
mainly with regeneration and have one large experiment with
regeneration methods (pine; planting, sowing, natural regeneration and
natural regeneration over long periods with shelter trees) 40 km east
of Växjö. We also study thinning and wood quality of pine and spruce.
TEACHING:

EDUCATION:
M.S. (Fil. Mag.) in biology (Animal Ecology), Lund University, Sweden,
1995. Additional courses in chemistry.
DUTIES:
PhD-student since February 1995.
RESEARCH:
Within the field of chemical communication, I'm working with the
codling moth, a world wide orchard pest, and sexual pheromones. The
title of my project is "Improved biological control of the codling
moth, Cydia pomonella, by pheromone and volatile host-plant
attractants".
     The female codling moth releases a substance called codlemone (a
pheromone) to attract males. This substance can be produced
synthetically, and used for plant protection with a method called
"mating disruption".
Synthetic codlemone is then spread over the orchard to prevent the
males from finding the females. However, mating disruption is not
always reliable, especially not at high population densities. If the
pheromone is combined with a repellant compound, the control can be
improved.
     I also plan to study the interaction between Cydia species and
volatile compounds emitted from their host plants.
TEACHING:
I have so far no teaching experience at university level, but I'm
willing to give single lectures in introductory or animal ecology or
participate in group discussions. I would also like to present my
project and its role in plant protection, to give students an overview
of our division, or talk to students considering their exam projects.

RESEARCH:
Chemical ecology and behavior of bark beetles (Coleoptera:
Scolytidae), including Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus
attacking Norway spruce, and Tomicus piniperda attacking Scots pine.
Thanasimus formicarius (Coleoptera: Cleridae), a predator of bark
beetles, and Acanthocinus aedulis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) a
long-horned beetle competitor are also studied. The research involves
laboratory experiments of bark beetle orientation behavior toward
pheromones and semiochemicals, isolation and identification of such
chemicals, and general behavior concerning attack of the tree and
interactions of individuals. The goal is to discover and use
semiochemicals in biocontrol of bark beetles by luring them to traps,
repelling them from trees, or confusing their host-finding attempts.
Extensive field experiments are done each year in Värmland on the
responses of bark beetles to attractive and repellent semiochemicals
and host odors as well as on general behavior regarding emergence,
flight dispersal, and colonization of host trees. During cool, rainy
periods of field work, I have studied red wood ants (Formica
aquilonia) regarding foraging, trail-making, nest temperatures and
silvicultural practices. I am also interested in insect sounds and
swarming of midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae). In many of the studies,
I have made models to simulate observed behavior of insect populations
under various ecological conditions.
TEACHING:
Previously have taught the course: "Simulation of ecological models by
personal computer" - 1992, 1994 (Lund Univ.). Other subjects in
entomology where I could give a lecture are: Mechanisms of insect
orientation to odors; Resistance of plants to insects; Bark beetle
biology; Biosynthesis of bark beetle pheromones; Insect behavior. In
the areas of chemical ecology: Field methods in chemical ecology,
Isolation of semiochemicals, Chemical ecology of bark beetles.
In Ecology and Ecological Simulations: Spatial analysis, Computer
simulation, Plant and Animal Coevolution, Competition, Speciation and
genetic models, Mating systems and mate-finding, host-finding. In the
areas of Data Analysis, reference research, writing manuscripts:
BIOSIS searches and reference management; Writing scientific papers in
English. A few other areas include, Electronic devices and
instrumentation in ecological research; Environmental physiology.
Ideas for courses: Simulation of ecological models by personal
computer; Insect Behavior; Insect Ecology or (Insect Behavior and
Ecology); Chemical Ecology. I am willing to teach a 2 point course in
any of the "Ideas for courses" above (8 lectures-discussion, reading
homework). Or I can give a lecture or two (or lead discussion) on any
of the above topics or related areas.

EDUCATION:
MSc in Horticulture
DUTIES:
At the moment I am a research student specializing in recycling of
plant nutrients by composting and plant response to different
composts. I designed a laboratory equipment and a standard substrate
for laboratory studies of microbial transformation of organic
materials.
RESEARCH:
Synthesis of my experience is presented as the following idea: To
achieve efficient waste handling I see possibilities for using new
technology (hi-tech and eco-tech in combination) in this area of human
activity. By modernization of biological transformation methods,
organic solids and liquid wastes from households can be utilized as a
raw material. Kitchen and garden wastes, paper and different
packagings together with human excreta (without addition of water) can
be mixed and converted by microorganisms to valuable products. The
system will start with efficient collection of each kind of waste and
its preprocessing. Processing will include, among other features,
aeration, agitation, temperature and odor control. Both biogas and
biofertilizers will be produced which means that waste will be
upgraded, energy will be saved and plant nutrients recycled. Biogas
can be used as fuel in busses and cars or for production of
electricity and heat. Biofertilizers can be adjusted to the
requirements of various cultivated crops. This system I named G&G
system. It can be used for microbial transformation of all organic
materials which originate from the plant and animal kingdom. G&G
system can be modified to local requirements. Not only organic waste
and residue can be treated but also fuel crops can be transformed to
renewable energy and valuable biofertilizers instead of burning
biomass for receiving different forms of energy (electricity or heat)
and degrading organic compounds to ash.
TEACHING:
Horticulturists on different levels at SLU, some courses for students
at University of Lund, "Folkuniversitet", and lessons for public
education in subjects: composting, compost quality and utilization,
various crop response to different composts and holistic view of
organic waste management.

EDUCATION:
Fil. kand., University of Lund
Ph. D., Dept Systematic Botany, University of Lund
Docent, Horticultural Plant Breeding, SLU
DUTIES:
Director of the apple and pear breeding program at Balsgård, aimed
towards the production of new and better adapted fruit tree cultivars.
Supervising several Ph.D. students. Reviewer of international
journals, especially for Molecular Ecology since I am on their
editorial board. Responsible for a major part of the educational
programs at Balsgård.
RESEARCH:
I have been involved in several research projects on apple and pear
breeding, with special reference to resistance towards fungal
diseases. However, I also work with characterization of genetic
diversity in some horticultural crops. Methods used are mainly
biometrics of morphological traits, and DNA-based markers, especially
(1) "classical DNA fingerprinting" based on RFLP methodology and the
hybridization of restriction enzyme-digested DNA samples to
hypervariable mini- or microsatellite probes; and (2) PCR-based RAPDs.
The plant material consists mainly of crops which are at a relatively
early stage of the domestication process; e.g. dogroses (Rosa sect.
Caninae, hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), Japanese quince (Chaenomeles
japonica), sea bucktorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and lingonberry
(Vaccinium vitis-idaea). Here, the availability of adequate levels of
genetic diversity is an important prerequisite for future plant
breeding programs. In cooperation with the Department for Landscape
Planning, SLU, we have also started to collect and analyze material of
the garden plant Lilium martagon. Another ongoing project is the
analysis of genetic variation and heritability in two genera with
reduced genetic recombination; the heterogamic species in Rosa sect.
Caninae and the apomicts in Rubus subgen. Rubus.
TEACHING:
Have taken part in the basic pedagogical course at SLU as well as the
"docent course". Have taught systematic botany and related subjects at
undergraduate levels at the University of Lund, and some plant
breeding at the "hortonom program" at SLU. Have developed and taught
several postgraduate courses in (1) application of computer programs
in statistics, (2) DNA fingerprinting, and (3) oral and written
presentation of research results.
     Up till now, Balsgård has taken part in undergraduate education
at SLU only to a minor extent. We have, however, possibilities and
competence to teach a number of subjects related to horticulture as
well as more general biology programs (e.g. cultivation and plant
breeding of horticultural crops, characterization of plant genetic
resources including DNA-based markers, plant secondary metabolites
including pharmacognosy). I would thus like to develop and teach
several undergraduate and postgraduate courses, e.g. in cooperation
with departments at Alnarp, Lund University and Denmark (Årslev).

DUTIES:
Guest researcher.
RESEARCH:
My research interests have been the biochemical and physiological
events of flowering in fruit trees, particularly concerning the roles
of endogenous hormones, polyamines, carbohydrates and proteins in
flower-bud formation in relation to the vegetative growth. Also of
interest is stress physiology which focuses on the influence of water
stress on endogenous hormones and stress proteins in relation to
growth and development of plants. Recent emphasis is being given to
studies on mutual effects (including allocation of mass and the
distribution of assimilates in different parts of plants) of
rootstocks and scions in apple trees at steady-state nutrition under
the conditions of free access to all nutrients and nutrient stress.
