Su trabajo se concentra en: i) la resolución de problemas productivos mediante la comprensión de las interacciones GxE, en especies de relevancia económica para los mercados de exportación, con especial énfasis en el arándano; y ii) mejoramiento vegetal, mediante el desarrollo de la fenómica como vía para identificar individuos sobresalientes a estreses abióticos.
