Engr. Juanito P. Jimenez Jr., Senior Science Research Specialist at the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), recently received the 2013 Outstanding Young Scientist for Research in Forest and Natural Resources Utilization from the Forests and Natural Resources Research Society of the Philippines, Inc.

Jimenez was cited for his work on thermal modification that is an “alternative method to the application of hazardous chemical preservatives in prolonging the service life of malapapaya and kauayan-tinik while at the same time improving their dimensional stability, which is a requisite to making laminated or glued products intended for furniture, handicrafts and builder’s woodworks such as moldings and floorings”.
