Currently I work as a Scientist. I have got two professional hats. I am trained as a Professional Forester and also as a Professional Engineer. Although I was recognised by the Institution of Engineers, Australia in 2002, I formally became a Member of the IEAust in 2005.

I was also an Associate Member of the Institute of Wood Science, UK since 1998. In 2005 I was elected as a Fellow of this Institute. I am a former Member of the Institute of Foresters, Australia.

My biography has been selected for publication in Whos Who in the World and other biographical database. My aim of life, like other scientists is to make the world a better place for human living and comfort by exploring and knowing the world around us as much as we can to accomplish our goal. My realisation is that ironically we know very little about our own world.
