Kristiina Aun serves as a Research Fellow of Silviculture at the Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMU), where she is affiliated with the Institute of Forestry and Engineering within the Chair of Silviculture and Forest Ecology. Her academic work is centered at the university's campus located at F. R. Kreutzwaldi 5 in Tartu, Estonia.

Dr. Aun's research focuses on the scientific management of forest crops and forest ecosystems. Her work in Silviculture encompasses tree growth patterns, forest regeneration methods, and sustainable harvesting techniques. In Forest Ecology, she investigates the complex relationships between forest organisms and their environment, with particular attention to ecosystem resilience and biodiversity conservation. Her research in Sustainable Forestry addresses the balance between timber production and ecological preservation, while her work in Forest Management examines practical applications for forest planning and operations. Additional expertise includes Tree Growth and Development studies and Forest Ecosystems analysis, contributing to evidence-based forest policy and management practices in Estonia and beyond.

As a researcher at EMU, Dr. Aun contributes to the university's mission of advancing knowledge in forestry and environmental sciences through her specialized work in silvicultural practices and forest ecological systems.
