Research focuses on Macroeconomics—specifically monetary policy mechanisms—and Energy Economics, with deep analysis of oil market volatilities and comparative studies between developed and developing economies. Their work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to economic growth and sustainable energy systems.

Recent publications (2023-2024) reveal an interdisciplinary trajectory connecting business cycle modeling, zero lower bound monetary policy, BRICS trade integration, pandemic-era oil price asymmetries, and high-skill labor market dynamics. These works demonstrate rigorous application of econometric models like GTAP-E across macroeconomic and energy sectors.
