Research interests are focused on insect neuropeptides, GPCRs, Bioactive peptides, and pheromones for Arthropod pests, such as spotted-wing drosophila, thrips, and slugs.

Insect neuropeptide (NP), G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), and Receptor interference (Receptor-i) to identify bioactive peptides.
Identification of semiochemicals, including insect pheromones, and application to pest management.
Functional diversity and evolution of NPs & GPCRs from invertebrates to mammals.
