His primary research focuses on English Philology and Discourse and Identity studies, anchored in the Humanities Research Institute (iHUS). He holds a PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela, awarded in 2003 for his thesis on identity in Joseph Conrad’s early Marlow narratives. His work intersects literary analysis, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, and gender studies, with a particular emphasis on intertextuality and cultural critique.

Research interests include the analysis of narrative voice, liminality in diasporic literature, and the application of psychoanalytic theory to literary texts. His contributions span modernist and contemporary British literature, with notable explorations of authors like Janice Galloway, Roald Dahl, and Terry Eagleton. Recent studies address themes such as national identity in postcolonial fiction and the acoustic dimensions of narrative.

His publications reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, blending literary criticism with cultural, political, and philosophical inquiries. Key contributions include examinations of gender dynamics in short fiction, the spectral elements in Conrad’s works, and the ideological underpinnings of modernist narratives.
