"Paint Matrix Paper", (Upcoming)
Co-authored a paper detailing the various antifouling coatings used in industries to prevent biofouling and corrosion on surfaces. The paper also details the fouling process, fouling's effects on marine renewable energy (MRE), and different types of antifouling technologies coatings employ. Furthermore, an analysis on the toxins found within antifouling coatings and an excel spreadsheet detailing approximately 300 coatings is included in addition to recommendations and a future outlook for the industry.

"Incorporation of Novel Elements in Bioactive Glass Compositions to Enhance Implant Performance," IntechOpen
Co-authored a chapter identifying novel elements bioactive glasses are doped with to enhance implant performance. In it, transition elements like Cu, Ag, Au, and the lanthanides were discussed and their effects on bioactivity, antimicrobial properties, and bioactive glasses' physical properties too. A brief history of bioactive glasses and their limitations in addition to summaries of common bioactive glass systems is also provided.
