My research is interdisciplinary looking at a broad, inclusive and a well developed prospective for understanding biogeochmical processes in the ocean, including effects of environmental perturbations.

My research interest includes:

• Benthic community impacts on carbon and contaminant fluxes.
• Flow of carbon and contaminants in coastal environment
• Bioavailability of organic pollutants and their trophic transfer.
• Deep-sea benthic ecology.
• Ecology and biology of marine benthic communities.
• Marine biodiversity.
• Comparative analysis of ecosystems.
• Biotic/abiotic interactions in marine environments.
