Delforge's research centers on Data Protection Law, Privacy Law, and Consumer Law within digital ecosystems. He examines GDPR enforcement mechanisms, e-privacy regulations, and legal compliance for digital goods/services. His scholarship reveals critical intersections between EU regulatory frameworks and practical implementation challenges in public utilities, e-Government, and consumer protection contexts, with particular emphasis on balancing innovation with fundamental rights.

Analysis of his 24 publications (2017-2025) shows consistent focus on evolving data protection jurisprudence, direct marketing compliance, and digital consumer rights. Recent works demonstrate increasing specialization in electronic communications regulation and GDPR-consumer law synergies, reflecting regulatory developments in EU digital policy.

His 8 academic activities and 4 media engagements demonstrate commitment to public discourse on data privacy threats and digital innovation.
