Mihaela CÂMPEAN

Professor Mihaela CÂMPEAN is affiliated with the Department of Wood Processing and Design of Wood Products at the Faculty of Furniture Design and Wood Engineering, Transilvania University of Brașov. Her research focuses on wood drying technologies, heat treatment processes, and material science applications in forestry. She has contributed to advancing methods for lumber drying, veneer stabilization, and enhancing wood durability through thermal modification.

Key research interests include:

• Optimizing industrial drying processes for oak and beech species
• Assessing heat treatment effects on machinability and dimensional stability
• Energy efficiency in frozen wood drying systems
• Development of sustainable wood processing techniques

Her publications (2005–2023) emphasize experimental analysis of wood behavior under thermal and mechanical stress. Notable contributions include studies on thick lumber drying behavior, energy consumption in frozen spruce drying, and mechanical property changes post-heat treatment.
