His work spans international biosecurity policy, including coordination of the UN Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services' Invasive Alien Species Assessment.
His research focuses on developing solutions for biosecurity threats through fundamental ecological understanding of invasive species, human dimensions of invasions, and socio-ecological drivers of antimicrobial resistance. Key interests include:
- Trade and transport networks in biosecurity threats
- Population dynamics of invasive species
- Evolution of herbicide resistance
- Economic/social drivers of ornamental plant invasions
His publication analysis reveals strong emphasis on One Biosecurity frameworks, invasion prediction modeling, and integrated human-environment systems. Recent work increasingly connects biosecurity with One Health principles and sustainable development goals.
