His research spans Fluid Dynamics (e.g., vortex-induced vibrations, valvular leaflet motion), Cardiac Electromechanics (e.g., myocardial activation, electrophysiology coupling), and Isogeometric Analysis (e.g., thin shell modeling, mixed collocation methods). He also explores Swarm Robotics through collective intelligence models.

Recent publications highlight trends in Fluid-Structure Interaction (e.g., energy harvesting, jellyfish locomotion), Biomedical Engineering (e.g., aortic valve turbulence, cardiac muscle simulation), and Computational Methods (e.g., immersed boundary techniques, isogeometric shell models). These works often involve interdisciplinary approaches combining Biomechanics, Electrophysiology, and Multiphysics Simulation.
