Professor Lakyda is now one of Ukraine’s leading experts in multifunctional forestry, the focus of his work being the assessment of carbon deposition in forest biomass.
IIASA’s YSSP was his first experience with an international research organization and it greatly influenced his future work. Building on his YSSP research, he returned to IIASA’s Forestry Program several times. He has recently worked on the internationally recognized projects “Preparation and Design of Ukraine Reforestation Biocarbon” with Tuscia University and Agrotec (2005–2007) and a five-year EC project “Biomass Energy Europe” coordinated by Freiburg University and currently partnering with IIASA.
