prof. Milan Lstibůrek graduated from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Czech University of Life Sciences (undergraduate degrees in forestry) and the North Carolina State University, USA (Ph.D. in quantitative forest genetics). Following his postdoc experience at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, he pursued his academic career at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, eventually reaching the full professorship in 2015. He is also serving as an Adjunct Professor at the North Carolina State University.
His expertise covers the following topics: development of the “Breeding without Breeding” concept and applications; seed orchard spatial layouts; development of optimum deployment and selection algorithms; development of alternative approaches to estimating genetic parameters (concept “realized heritability in panmictic populations”); studies on genetics of fluorescence and spectral reflectance in forest trees; integration of genomics in tree breeding; and evaluation of positive assortative mating in forest tree breeding.
