His primary research explores the classification of transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds and the development of combinatorial invariants for transverse knots. He is also passionate about integrating research into undergraduate education to enhance student engagement.

Recent publications highlight his work in knot theory, virtual Yang-Baxter invariants, and optimization principles, reflecting a blend of geometric topology and applied mathematical methods.

In his spare time, he enjoys running, hiking, cycling, and watching movies.
