His research focuses on precision phenotyping of cardiovascular pathophysiology using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR), atrial strain as a cardiovascular outcome predictor, appropriate cardiac imaging use, heart failure readmission reduction, and health economics applications in cardiology.

Key trends in his 2021-2025 publications include multimodality imaging techniques, atrial strain analysis, chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity, and obesity-related cardiovascular imaging challenges. Collaborative projects span institutions like Goethe Institute Frankfurt and Menzies Institute for Medical Research.

Scientific recognition includes the Ten of the Best research award from Menzies Institute for Medical Research.

Grants highlight his work in microvascular restoration (REDUCE trial), obesity-cardiovascular interactions, and cardiac inflammation mapping. He leads a nine-researcher team in echocardiography quality improvement, atrial strain analysis, heart failure protocols, and health economics studies.

International collaborations with Goethe Institute Frankfurt and Menzies Institute for Medical Research demonstrate his global research impact, particularly in experimental cardiovascular imaging and translational studies.
