Carsten Mai (born 1966) is a German wood scientist and professor at the University of Göttingen, where he is a faculty member and the current head of the Department of Wood Biology and Wood Products.[1][2]
He is an elected Fellow (FIAWS) of the International Academy of Wood Science.[3]
Career
[edit]He studied in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Göttingen from 1987 to 1994, and also finished his doctoral thesis at the same university in 1998.[4]
He later became assistant professor at the Department of Wood Biology and Wood Products in Goettingen. His research is mainly focused on the chemical modification of solid wood and wood-based materials, in the development of novel binder systems, and the recycling of wood-based materials.[5][6][7][8][9]
One of the recent works of Mai et al. discussed the historical development of wood research in the 19th and 20th century in Europe and worldwide.[10]
