• bionomy, taxonomy and ecology of marine macroalgae; macroalgae as pollution indices
• taxonomy, biology and ecology of plankton algae in lakes, rivers and coastal seas; analysis of factors controlling biodiversity in phytoplankton communities; anthropogenic nutrient loading changes and blooms of harmful algae; restoration
• toxic algae; algal toxins; photosynthetic processes of algae
