In the period 1991–2000, he transitioned to the position of assistant professor in wood technology and became the head of the accredited testing laboratory at the higher technical college in Mödling in Austria. In the years 1990–2000, he served as editor-in-chief at the scientific journal Holzforschung und Holzverwertung.
Later, in 2000, he became full-time professor of wood technology at BOKU. From 2001 to 2015, he also served as the scientific director of the Competence Centre for Wood Composites and Wood Chemistry (Wood Kplus).
His main research interests include several subjects of wood technology.[4] Until March 2024, he has published and presented more than 200 research and technological works in several international journals, conferences and symposia.[5]
In March 2019, as an elected fellow, he received the highest recognition at the International Academy of Wood Science by presenting in Graz the IAWS academy lecture, which was titled ‘’Wood technology in the course of time’’.[6][7]
He retired from BOKU in August 2019. In 2023, along with the wood scientists Peter Niemz and Dick Sandberg, he edited the referenced edition of Springer Handbook of Wood Science and Technology.[8]
