This researcher studies fungi that contaminate crops and food, focusing on toxic compounds called mycotoxins (such as aflatoxin, ochratoxin, and fumonisin) produced by molds like Aspergillus. Work spans understanding how these fungi grow and produce toxins, ways to prevent contamination in stored grain and produce, and developing sensitive sensor technologies (including SERS-based biosensors) to detect these toxins in food. Some earlier work also examined bioactive polysaccharides from seaweed.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, averaging under two papers per year with a slight uptick in 2024-2025.
