The ability to factor larger numbers in non-classical ways forced the NSA to begin working on stronger security schemes, and his first article on the subject was referenced in the article "NSA prepares for a post-quantum world"[16]. Ronald Rivest (the 'R' in the RSA cryptography scheme), mentioned his work in a talk on the threats of quantum computing against classical security schemes[17].

Several years earlier, he invented the Morse/Long-range (MLR) potential with Robert J. LeRoy and John A. Coxon, which has been used by other scientists for over 20 different molecules in over 80 publications. His work using the MLR potential was referred to as a "landmark in diatomic spectral analysis" in.[18] In the landmark work, the C3 value for atomic lithium was determined to a higher-precision than any atom's previously measured oscillator strength, by an order of magnitude. This lithium oscillator strength is related to the radiative lifetime of atomic lithium and is used as a benchmark for atomic clocks and measurements of fundamental constants.[19]

His work with David Wilkins on the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex ended about a decade of debate about the question of the functional role of quantum coherence in bacterial photosynthesis.[20]

His other work includes generalizing the Hierarchical equations of motion to arbitrary temperature and arbitrary spectral densities, and deriving novel Quantum master equations.

Due to publications with Oliver Riordan and Lila Kari, he has an Erdos number of 3, in two different ways.
