The main current research directions are:
- Influence of biological and abiotic factors on the structure and dynamics of marine symbiotic communities
- Fauna and systematics of polychaetes, mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, and other marine invertebrates
- Phylogenesis and evolutionary morphological transformations of marine gastropods
- Long-term dynamics of coastal benthic ecosystems of the Barents Sea
- Long-term and seasonal dynamics of mangrove communities of Vietnam
- Biodiversity of marine invertebrates of the shallow-water zone of the South China Sea
