Combining backgrounds in structural engineering as well as wood science, Mr. Schreyer's interests span the entire range of design, construction and behavior of mainly heavy-timber type (e.g. glulam) structural systems. This is complimented by a strong interest in computer applications for structural engineering, construction and architecture.

In his research Mr. Schreyer focuses on the behavior of wood based structural systems with a particular interest in innovative connection systems for wooden structures. In addition, his research encompasses computer applications in design as well as structural optimization.

Mr. Schreyer teaches classes in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and building materialsand construction methods.
