His research explores advanced imaging techniques for early Alzheimer's disease detection through retinal analysis, including AI-driven diagnostic systems. This work has demonstrated potential for identifying Alzheimer's pathology 20 years earlier than current methods. He also develops portable retinal cameras used in remote health settings and space missions.

Scientific awards include NHMRC Research Fellowship (2016-2019), WAiTTA Merit Award (2018), Best Presentation at NNIDR Australian Dementia Forum (2017), and multiple industry awards. His publications span biomedical imaging, AI applications, and ocular diagnostics for systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
