Biography
Dr. Gregory Paradis’s research spans a wide range of forest management problems, with a common thread being the application of operations research (OR) methods to formulate and solve complex decision problems as mathematical optimization problems. He uses a systems approach to modelling interactions between forest ecosystems, industrial supply chains, governments, and society. His research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of forest science, forest economics, forest and industrial engineering, data science, computer science, and operations research. He is always looking for motivated students, especially quantitative and creative ones who are not afraid to do something totally new.
