Thomas is a forester interested in exploring the dynamics of temperate forests throughout the world. His master’s thesis focused on individual tree taper and volume equations for longleaf pine plantations in Georgia. His future research interests include investigating natural regeneration following harvest, and the growth and productivity of temperate European broadleaved forests. After graduating from NC State, Thomas worked for International Paper as a procurement forester in Rome, GA. He stayed in Georgia, where he earned his MS at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources before continuing on to start his PhD at Yale.
