Invasive Species: Using DNA sequence data and ecological studies to understand the distribution and impact of invasive species in Hawaii e.g. revealing pathways by which invasive species invade.

Insect Systematics: Using molecular and morphological data to establish relationships between known and new species with specific reference to endemic Hawaiian species and problematic invasive species.

Conservation Biology: Using filed and lab work to understand the causes for native insect and plant decline and developing synthetic research products which will allow more effective land management and native insect and plant conservation.
