Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works in dentistry, focusing on developing and testing dental materials that help prevent tooth decay (cavities) and enamel wear. Much of the work explores adding natural bioactive compounds—such as flavonoids, quercetin, and farnesol—to materials like adhesives, varnishes, and glass ionomer cements to improve their properties and fight bacteria. Additional studies address pediatric oral health, including dental anxiety in children and oral signs of diseases like Crohn's disease.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
