Department of Wood Engineering

In the Department of Wood Engineering, we investigate the strength and deformation performance of various wood and wood-based materials used in construction and civil engineering, as well as the joints and structural members that are made from them. We also carry out physiological and psychological assessment tests of indoor spaces with wooden interiors in various types of structures.
