I received the Exceptional Contributions to Research Award and APEX Award from Kennesaw State University’s President for Contributions to Outstanding Scholars and Research. These both recognition is awarded by Kennesaw State University’s President - Kathy 'Kat' Schwaig. I have published 61 peer-reviewed research papers between 2019 to 2024. If I divide it into scholarship categories, core research construction scholarship is thirty-four, pedagogical scholarship is twenty one, and service scholarship is six. I have published a joint paper with ten students over the from 2019 to 2024. I have submitted 28 grants and fellowships over a period from 2019 to 2024. 14 grants/fellowships have been awarded, and five grants are under review. 

List of published papers over a period from 2019 to 2024
