Susana Barreiro is assistant professor at School of Agriculture (ISA), University of Lisbon, since April 2019. Lecturing Forest Inventory, Forest Models and Applied Operations Research, she has continued researching in the fields of modelling and simulation of forest dynamics under changing conditions. Over the past few years, a stronger emphasis on the integration of the impacts of (a)biotic disturbances (wildfire and pests) into management-driven simulation tools and on the adaptation/improvement of these tools toward the simulation of mixed species-stands, with the constant aim of bridging the gap between research and practice through the active involvement of stakeholders. Most of the research has been carried out at the Forest Research Centre (CEF), School of Agriculture (ISA), University of Lisbon, former Lisbon Technical University, in Portugal, including the PhD studies funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). A brief interruption of 5 months, time in which she was based at the Nature Conservation and Forests institute (ICNF). The post-doctoral fellowship also funded by FCT was co-chaired by the Forest Research Centre (CEF) in Lisbon and the Forest Ecology and Forest Management Group (ALTERRA) at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. In 2014, she was granted the Outstanding Doctoral Research Award (ODRA) by the International Union of Forest Research Associations (IUFRO) for her research focusing on the Development of forest simulation tools for assessing the impact of different management strategies and climatic changes on wood production and carbon sequestration for Eucalyptus in Portugal. Over the years, she coordinated several international team networks, such as COST ACTIONS, taking the Short Term Scientific Missions coordination more than once, being working-group deputy and as vice-chair of USEWOOD COST ACTION. Her internationalization led her to be considered a ”Portuguese Success Story” by the Cost Office, Brussels, in 2017 and later in 2022 she was again selected to integrate a Showcase of Women Forest Researchers. At present, she is coordinator of IUFRO Division 4.02.07 on Large-scale forest inventory and scenario modelling of IUFRO since 2017. In 2022 she integrated the Planted Forests Task Force of IUFRO accumulating with the presidency of the European Institute of Planted Forest (IEFC). The most significant research output is StandsSIM.md management-driven forest simulator made freely available on sIMfLOR platform for which several hands-on workshops have been organized for private owners and forest managers. She has also been involved in the provision of field societal and scientific services to the community, either through the participation in consultancy works (ALVARES) where the interaction with stakeholders is a constant (including the preparation of questionnaires), as well as through pro-bono non-funded work at ARF@Pt, a group created for assessing the profitability of Portuguese forests based on the contributions of forest stakeholders. |
