Currently, I am working on four areas: 1. Biocontrol of plant disease by using bacteria. 2. Plant/soil microbiome responses to agricultural practices, environmental factors, pesticides, as well as biotic stresses like disease emergency and biocontrol agents applications. 3. Rapid and targeted identification, as well as quantification, of novel phytopathogens from new hosts or extrem-environments. 4. Bioinformatics of next generation sequencing (NGS) based on whole genomes and bio-markers.
