He is an expert in thermophilic bacteria as well as pharmacognosy and has been the subject of news articles [90]. He has authored or co-authored over 30 publications in high-impact journals and has an h-index of 10. According to the author profiles on his most recent publication, he currently resides in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) where he works as a research scientist.
