Roger A. Williams studies forest ecology and wildland fire, focusing on how fire behavior, fuel characteristics, and forest management practices affect Appalachian hardwood forests, including issues like invasive species and soil carbon. His recent work also incorporates remote sensing, drone-based monitoring, and machine learning tools (such as near-infrared spectroscopy and computer vision) to measure fuel moisture, wood properties, and fire severity. A prospective student would be joining research that blends traditional forestry and fire ecology fieldwork with newer sensing and data-analysis technologies.
