Areas of research focus include the development of advanced technology and equipment, forest restoration, harvesting and processing approaches, and the management of threats.

Specifically, the research program aims to:

1. Rationale of environmentally sustainable methods and means of timber raw harvesting.
2. Implementation of technical facilities and mechanized complexes for logging development of felling areas with complicated relief conditions.
3. Development and research of installations for timber cutting, sorting and stacking at warehouses of forestry enterprises and woodyarding technologies on their basis.
4. Development of technologies and equipment for primary wood processing.
5. Design of forest roads network and rationale of promising technologies for their construction.
6. Ecological technologies of forest exploitation.

The department has a rich history of conducting research with a strong emphasis on addressing "real world" problems. This is attributed mostly to our prime location as well as the recruitment of faculty with substantial industry and consulting experience.
