Key research areas include:

• Evolutionary adaptation of plant protein kinases
• Reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling networks
• Compartmentalization of stress responses in plants
• Molecular mechanisms of cysteine-rich receptor kinases
• Phosphorylation dynamics in Arabidopsis

Recent publications highlight his work on:

• CRK2 kinase regulation of NADPH oxidase activity
• Stress-induced ROS compartmentalization
