Her research interests include functional genomics of responses to ionizing radiation and other stressors, signal transduction in DNA-damage and stress responses, radiation biodosimetry and molecular responses to low doses of ionizing radiation and to high linear energy transfer radiation. She is active in the Radiation Research Society, which awarded her the Michael Fry Research Award in 2004, and she is a member of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.

Recently, his interests and support activities have been in space radiation research projects for NASA, the European Space Agency, and the German Space Agency. He has been on the science teams for the 2001 Mars Odyssey Martian Radiation Environment Experiment and the Boeing Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter Phase A study.

He also served as a NASA visiting senior scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, as manager of the Radiation Health Program at NASA Headquarters, and as program director of the joint NASA-National Cancer Institute research project on genomic instability. He is the author of numerous publications on high-energy heavy-ion physics and mitigating the health effects of radiation during spaceflight.

His research interests include space radiation transport code development, space radiation shielding, theoretical modeling of secondary neutron production cross sections and spectra from energetic proton and heavy-ion interactions with thin and thick targets, modeling production of radioactive and stable heavy nuclides from nuclear spallation, and the design of neutron sources, including cold sources, for use in radiography, radiotherapy, neutron activation analysis, and materials studies. He was the principal investigator and leader of the Space Radiation Transport Code Development Consortium from 2002 to 2007.
