Research interests include:

• 
  - Reversing the decline of New Zealand's Biological Heritage
  - The interface between Mātauranga Māori (indigenous Māori knowledge), Environmental Science, Technological Innovation, and Commercialisation.
  - The role of indigenous knowledge systems in helping humanity cope with emerging ‘wicked’ problems, such as climate change.
  - Creating new technologies and processes, from Mātauranga Māori, that benefit Mātauranga holders and their whānau, Industry, and the wider NZ community, in a manner that is respectful of and maintains the integrity of that Mātauranga.
  - Implementation of science that is excellent from a Māori perspective, i.e. science that supports Māori to be better ancestors.
  - The development of social structures and processes that allow Māori communities and organisations to work effectively within collaborative technical and scientific contexts.
