He was one of the first in the country to deal with the Asian Longhorned Beetle, surveying CT forests and ports. Xavier also participated in research and control of other invasive species such as Hemlock Woolly Adelgid and Gypsy moth. His supporting role in such projects gave him the opportunity to work with some of the leading scientists in the field.
