His research focuses on Mirror Symmetry, exploring the duality between symplectic geometry (A-model) of Calabi-Yau manifolds and complex geometry (B-model) of their mirrors via the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) proposal. Key contributions include asymptotic analysis of Maurer-Cartan equations, tropical geometry applications, and smoothing of degenerate Calabi-Yau structures.

Recent publications analyze scattering diagrams, tropical Lagrangian multi-sections, and Witten's twisted A_∞ structures, revealing connections between symplectic geometry and complex geometric phenomena in degenerate Calabi-Yau settings.
