This researcher's publication record centers on plant biology, particularly how plants defend themselves against pathogens and pests such as bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, and how plant hormones and gene networks respond to these stresses in crops like soybean and tomato. Some more recent publications on microbiome chemistry and nanoparticle-based cancer imaging/therapy also appear in the record, though these fall outside the primary plant-pathology focus and may reflect co-authorship, database attribution overlaps, or a shift in research direction. Prospective students interested in plant-microbe interactions, plant immunity, and crop resistance to pathogens would find the core body of work most relevant.

Publication output has been relatively steady over the last decade, averaging about 3 papers per year over the last 5 years, with a peak of 7 in 2023.
