Geir Isak Vestøl

Geir Isak Vestøl is a Professor in the Section for Renewable Energy and Forest Science at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). His academic work centers on wood technology, with a strong emphasis on understanding and optimizing the properties of timber for structural applications.

His research focuses on the influence of forest treatment and growing conditions—particularly climate—on wood properties. He develops and applies methods for detecting and recording these properties, and works on advanced timber sorting techniques to maximize utilization based on mechanical performance. A key aspect of his work involves statistical modeling and simulation to predict wood behavior.

Geir Isak Vestøl is actively involved in teaching, serving as course leader for TRE200 Wood Technology 1 and also teaching in TRE300 Wood Technology. His contributions link forest management practices with end-use material performance, supporting sustainable and efficient use of wood resources.
