He is currently the editor-in-chief at the journal [Wood Material Science and Engineering](/source/Wood_Material_Science_and_Engineering),[5] and the period 2013–2024, he was a faculty member and chair professor at the [Luleå University of Technology](/source/Lule%C3%A5_University_of_Technology),[6] Division of Wood Science and Engineering.

## Career

Sandberg was born in [Söderhamn](/source/S%C3%B6derhamn), Sweden. He obtained his PhD degree in mechanical engineering, with specialization in wood technology and processing from the [KTH Royal Institute of Technology](/source/KTH_Royal_Institute_of_Technology) in Stockholm in 1998.

Afterwards, he worked as a wood specialist and manager in several wood enterprises in Sweden, and later served as a professor in forest products at [Linnaeus University](/source/Linnaeus_University) in Växjö. In 2015, he was elected as a chaired professor at Wood Science and Engineering division of Luleå University of Technology, in [Skellefteå](/source/Skellefte%C3%A5), where he worked until September 2024.

His main research interests include, among others, wood material properties, scanning technology and wood machining, as well as the production systems.[7] Until March 2024, he has published more than 300 research works in several international journals and conferences.

## Recognition

Since 2009, Sandberg has served as the editor-in-chief at the referred wood-related, scientific journal *[Wood Material Science and Engineering](/source/Wood_Material_Science_and_Engineering)*[8] of the [Taylor & Francis](/source/Taylor_%26_Francis) Group.

In 2021, in recognition of his research work, he was elected as a *[fellow](/source/Fellow)* at [the International Academy of Wood Science](/source/The_International_Academy_of_Wood_Science). In October 2023, a [meta-research](/source/Metascience) carried out by [John Ioannidis](/source/John_Ioannidis) et al. at [Stanford University](/source/Stanford_University) included Dick Sandberg in *Elsevier Data 2022,* where he was ranked in the top 2% of researchers of all time in wood science (*forestry – materials*), having a c-index of 2.9702.[9]

In 2023, along with wood scientists [Alfred Teischinger](/source/Alfred_Teischinger) and [Peter Niemz](/source/Peter_Niemz), he edited the referenced edition of [Springer](/source/Springer_Science%2BBusiness_Media) *Handbook of Wood Science and Technology*.[10]
