Research interests span five key domains: vocal attractiveness (fundamental and formant frequency effects), social perception (valence-dominance models), AI voice analysis (VoiceLab software), mate selection (height and voice pitch correlations), and biological signaling (hormonal influences on perception). Recent publications examine emotional prosody, cross-cultural voice discrimination, and computational modeling of auditory cues.

Scholarly activity shows consistent output in Scientific Reports, Evolution and Human Behavior, and Animal Behaviour journals. Key collaborators include researchers at international institutions. Teaching activities include Python programming for neuroscience students and advanced statistics courses.
