Research interests include electromagnetic exposure effects on health, millimeter-wave interactions with biological tissues, and terahertz radiation applications. He has authored over 198 publications, including seminal studies on 5G fetal exposure, THz corneal hydration, and systematic reviews on RF-EMF impacts on fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Notable contributions include developing specialized exposure systems (e.g., reverberation chambers) and collaborating on synchrotron-based THz spectroscopy. Professional activities include editorial roles (Bioelectromagnetics Journal) and committee memberships (The Bioelectromagnetics Society).

Grants include leadership in NHMRC-funded research centers (2004–2025) and ANSTO projects on THz radiation effects. His work bridges engineering, biomedical science, and environmental health, addressing emerging technologies' safety challenges.
