Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Geetha Kumar‐Phillips' research focuses on food microbiology and the development of strategies to mitigate foodborne pathogens. Her recent work includes investigating the application of electron beam technology to reduce pathogens in ground chicken and turkey meats, with publications in 2025. She also studies the antibacterial activity of plant extracts against relevant *Campylobacter jejuni* strains isolated from both human and poultry sources, as detailed in a 2024 publication.

Additionally, Kumar‐Phillips has explored the use of electron beam-inactivated multi-strain *Staphylococcus* vaccines for preventing lameness in broiler chickens. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, 14 total publications, and 134 total citations. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Anna L. F. V. Assumpcao, Palmy Jesudhasan, and Ruvindu Perera, each with whom she shares three co-authored publications.
