Dr. Tuomas Yrttimaa is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Forest Sciences, University of Eastern Finland. He received his doctoral decree in 2021 at University of Eastern Finland. His current research interests include characterizing trees and tree communities using time series of dense point clouds to improve the understanding of forest dynamics and the structural uniqueness of trees.
