Foreign experience
Visiting scientist in Canberra (CSIRO Division of Forest Research) for 6
months, worked in some places in North-America (Corvallis, Berkeley, Raleigh)
and China (Beijing) for some weeks, visiting scientist at New Zealand Forest Research Institute for half a

Other professional
I am author of around 300 “scientific papers” (around 100 in Web of
Science), the list increases by around ten titles per year of which four are in
peer reviewed scientific journals, lists can be found on my web.
I run an FTP-site for forest tree breeding and genetics:
(http://daglindgren.upsc.se/), where a number of programs and documents I have
made are available to the world mainly to support efficient tree breeding and
some information given. I’ll got a gold medal from the
