Many of his research projects under Mussel are closely connected to Network structure with Network structure, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Adhesion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Redox, Polymer and Mica.

The various areas that he examines in his Nanotechnology study include Surface modification and Substrate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Catechol, Organic chemistry and Adsorption in addition to Chemical engineering. His Biophysics research integrates issues from Melanin, Peptide, Plasma protein binding and Hydrogen bond.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Surface-initiated self-healing of polymers in aqueous media. (265 citations)
  • Adaptive synergy between catechol and lysine promotes wet adhesion by surface salt displacement (253 citations)
  • Mussel adhesion - essential footwork. (188 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Chemical engineering, Nanotechnology, Adhesion, Polymer and Coacervate. His study in Chemical engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mussel and Organic chemistry, Adsorption, Aqueous solution. In his study, he carries out multidisciplinary Mussel and Mussel adhesion research.
