Melissa is investigating the pre-colonial archaeology of northwestern Santa Isabel in the Solomon Islands. Her research addresses broad archaeological questions about the timing and nature of human settlement, as well as the emergence of late pre-colonial cultural complexes documented elsewhere in the Solomons Archipelago and Island Melanesia. As an additional methodological tool Melissa is undertaking ethnoarchaeological investigations of marine and horticultural subsistence practices in Kia village.

His PhD research focused on the agricultural transition in pr4ehistoric northeast China. Using the method of Palaeo-environmental reconstruction, his PhD research has analysed the process of transition to farming in northeast China. Apart from theoretical study, this research has reinterpreted a large amount of archaeological data from northeast China. His PhD thesis has been published in 2007, with BAR International Series by Archaeopress at Oxford, England. Now, he has a teaching/research ARC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Sydney working on the project of prehistoric archaeology in the Junggar Bsin, Xinjiang, China in relation to the early contact between East and West in Eurasian prehistory. This four years project involves intensive field survey and excavation in selected areas. This project also includes some scientific analysis in laboratory, such as seeds floatation, starch, phytolith, and pollen studies.
